Teenage kicks on Baker Street
TROUBLED street teens being chased by monsters. Sherlock Holmes as a dodgy neighbour. Supernatural forces at work. What fresh hell is this?
With elements pulled from Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels, this dark and action-packed series focuses on the Baker Street Irregulars.
They are an eclectic gang of kids who are manipulated into solving crimes for the sinister Doctor Watson and his mysterious business partner, the elusive Sherlock Holmes. Oh and it’s Netflix, so why not throw in a few ghostly monsters.
Set in Victorian London, the crimes the teens try to solve take on a supernatural edge and a dark power emerges.
A tease for the show says: “It will be up to the Irregulars to come together to save not only London but the entire world.”
Show creator Tom Bidwell says: “The supernatural element brings a kind of Victorian horror to the show.
“Mysteries can be solved, but they can’t be very easily explained with rational
thought. There’s monsters and ghouls and horrors attacking the city of London.”
Henry Lloyd-Hughes plays Sherlock, while Royce Pierreson plays Dr Watson, with the teens played by Thaddea Graham, Darci Shaw, Jojo Macari, McKell David and Harrison Osterfield.
Expect shadowy figures, strange happenings, a lot of sinister activity at 221b Baker Street, running from things, scary crows, an excess of bad weather and kids who can see dead people.
Not for the faint hearted.
