Disrespectfully, if you're going to do a gender swap, do it to BOTH of them. Can't have that because there's a romance and then it might be ~~~~gay~~~~
I must admit, I'm already predisposed against retellings like this, ESPECIALLY when they feel they need to justify their retelling by having them be descended from the original characters.
Plot wise this is fine I guess? Except it does the thing that BBC Sherlock does where Holmes is withholding so much information from Watson and also everything ties into Moriarty.
Watson is constantly thinking about his crush on Holmes, and while I usually like this dynamic where the dude is more in love, it was just distracting because it was dripping with not-like-other-girls energy.
Within the first five minutes Watson is also fawning over her accent and since this was written by a USAmerican author, it just reeks of an inferiority complex.
