Verdict on Enola Holmes
Enola Holmes is an action-adventure mystery involving another member of the Holmes family. The youngest member looks to learn about her mother’s disappearance, only to get herself involved in a bigger mystery involving a young man.
This is a fun introduction to the character, showing that Sherlock Holmes had other family members for solving crimes. It gets to put a different point of view on society’s problems as Enola looks to break barriers to solve her first crime. This gets to show how she isn’t a perfect detective, but her skills prepare her to enter the world like her brother before her.
The performances are fun Millie Bobby Brown gives us a performance completely opposite to her Stranger Things role. In the supporting cast, we get a lot of fun from Henry Cavill and others along the way.
Where to Watch: Enola Holmes is available to watch on Netflix.
Final Thoughts – Enola Holmes is a fun mystery bringing us a new character to follow throughout the years.
