That’s what Enola Holmes with Millie Bobby Brown on Netflix is all about
Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) is the younger sister of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill) and is in no way inferior to him when it comes to ingenuity and curiosity. The sudden disappearance of her mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter) is the trigger for the rebellious 16-year-old to make her way to London – where she soon becomes involved in one mysterious adventure after another.
With her unconventional approaches, Enola solves every mystery while finding her place in a male-dominated world of Victorian London.
Boredom has no chance against Enola Holmes
Based on a young adult book series of the same name by Nancy Springer, director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and screenwriter Jack Thorne (Shameless, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) have staged Enola Holmes’ criminal cases.
They waste no time and throw you right into the first mystery alongside the young protagonist. As soon as we arrived in London, events began to take over.
With one clever, self-deprecating mix of mystery, coming of age and the odd action sequence Enola Holmes puzzles her way through Victorian London – and regularly stumbles into Sherlock Holmes, who is initially not very impressed by her detective work.
More on Millie Bobby Brown:
Victorian London is mercilessly exposed
Critical issues are also addressed through Enola’s constant confrontation with the famous Holmes and the feminist activities of her mother Eudoria. Victorian London is shown with all its endearing absurdities, but also its social injustice and prejudices.
Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Damsel) aka Enola, who likes to turn to the audience with a wink and comment on her own situation, is a pleasure to watch. Especially when Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter, The King’s Speech) as Eudoria is spinning her plans in the background.
Together, the actresses develop a great, thrilling dynamic that works brilliantly in both films.
Enola Holmes 1 has been available since September 23, 2020, Enola Holmes 2 started on November 4, 2022. Both films are streaming with a subscription on Netflix.
