I enjoy the Sherlock Holmes character more than I do reading the stories he's featured in. I don't find the progression of these books satisfying. We're told that Holmes is a genius and not shown. Every criticism I've seen thrown at Sherlock (2010) can be handed out to his classic tales. I ccouldn't be less interested than the story beats in this story. Which is strange because the character work of Holmes and Watson enjoyable.
