Now this is what I call a groundbreaking, original and feminist take on the Sherlock Holmes myth. As much as I liked Elementary, except for making Watson female, it really wasn't anything special despite being hailed that way. But this one?

Sherlock? Female. Watson? Female. Moriarty? Female. Mary? Male. A complete gender switch of the main characters. And yet they were still Sherlock and Watson and Moriarty! Especially Watson - or Wato - with her PTSD because this Watson actually was in a war zone, she was injured, all the things I was missing in Elementary. Thank you, Miss Sherlock, thank you!

The only character who kept his gender was Mycroft - or Kento here - but I adored his relationship with Sherlock. They bickered but very friendly, affectionately, they loved each other very much, you could actually feel it! And the infinite trust between them!

Fascinating cases, a fantastic build-up of a great friendship, many call backs to Doyle's original - even the Reichenbach Falls! And the final case was so good! I loved that it focused on both Sherlock and Wato, that they were both involved, that Wato wasn't a bystander. I truly, honestly, deeply loved it!
