About
If you enjoy Sherlock-style puzzles with a darker, Gothic vibe and playful nods to the classic era, this is worth a watch; Not for you if you dislike messy, hard-to-follow storytelling or a more experimental special.
Pros: inventive Victorian setting; clever layered mystery; strong performances | Cons: confusing back-and-forth; rushed wrap-up; heavy social messaging
