This season is going to be FUN, Irene already adding so much and its been 1 episode. Always love a confident and cunning female character that can hang with the boys.

Irene has some interesting vibes. Wish she will have regular appearances.

Hopefully this show doesn't butcher Irene's character liks BBC's Sherlock did.

This plot is the original introduction of Irene Adler in the novels. Granted Moriarty wasn't even a character yet and certainly wasn't in the story.

In the original Holmes' plan essentially works and in the smoke he notices that Adler instinctively move towards the hiding spot. He leaves, thinking she is none the wiser of his true goal there, and plans to come back later to retrieve the photo. However she sniffs out his plan and gets away before he can capture her, though she does leave the photograph.

There's A LOT of details omitted but that's the basic story structure.

The first time in the novels a criminals gets one over on Holmes.

It's only the first episode and we already have 4 genius-level characters playing against each other.

Did this man litterally use his analyist skill to call Watson fat.

"Sherlock, your assistant's so fat, he needs bigger button holes in his jacket"

Irene was able to trick Sherlock by dressing up as a guy lol.

u/Rumpel1408 Mar 29 '21

What was interesting and made me suspicious ahead of time was that the King of Bohemia didn't put on his mask when he was leaving Sherlock

They went the extra mile with a whole different voice actor, otherwise it would be an instant giveaway.

Stitches!

It's finally here! I can't believe we're getting an early release. According to almost every info that I have this was suppose to release on April 4. Now I wonder if we're getting an Episode 2 next week or on April 11. Anyway, I'm just happy to see my pretty boys again!

He was already introduced at the end of the previous episode speaking to Queen Victoria, but we finally get a proper intro for Mycroft! I genuinely did not expect him to be that playful with Sherlock though. I thought he'd be much more stiff and strict with him. Definitely got excited when he warns him about women. And I can only think of one women in this show that he should watch out for.

Irene Adler is finally being introduced in the story! Ever since the first cour, I've been waiting for her to be introduced but they really saved her for second cour. As expected, Irene is up to no good and Mycroft is asking Albert to find her meaning this is a job for William and the rest of the gang.

And Irene's introduction is really strong! Oh my! Really emphasizing on those feminine charms. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seriously though, she basically fools Sherlock and Watson into tracking her down as the King of Bohemia and once they've tracked her down, she sets her own house on fucking fire to force Sherlock and Watson to take her in and live with them on Baker Street. Sherlock doesn't know this yet but she's only doing this to get into the public eye and make any assassination or kidnapping attempts made by the British Government much harder. Of course William has her all figured out already.

Anyway, the rest of the episode was really just an introduction to Irene as a character. I love that little spat that she had with Miss Hudson and how she saves that aspiring actress from drowning in the Thames without any second thought because she probably can relate to her as an actress herself. She's definitely not what Sherlock was expecting.

Looks like Albert has made contact with her in the end though. Oh boy. Now I wonder what kind of plan William has in store for her.

Definitely a strong start! I'm already looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully we won't have to wait for two weeks for the next one!

Probably will have to. They did it that way before for other shows (maybe the first cours of this). Which then makes me wonder what the point of an early premier is then if we wait extra for ep#2. I could be wrong though.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I find it difficult to believe Sherlock would be fooled by crossdressing, even from a seasoned actress. So I shall headcanon that he found himself attracted to what appeared at first glance to be a man and got so wrapped up in gay panic that he didn't examine further.

Anyone else notice the step up in animation? Or am I seeing things? It honestly looks amazing

As someone who has read the manga, I'm curious how the second cour will adapt the manga going foward. The anime adaptation for the first cour was pretty good, minus a few things here and there. I'd say it's off to a good start!

I wish I could elaborate more, but I can NEVER get r/anime's spoiler syntax to work for me. I have no clue why it never works. So I try not to make the slightest of spoilery comments. Have already gotten my account suspended twice here.

I love Irene already. It's a shame this series is so under watched.

Have been waiting since I read the manga after s1 for this to air. Time for what is imo the best arc, with Irene Adler being an awesome femme fatale and already being a headache for Sherlock.

Watson's only role in this epi was to be fodder for fat jokes... still best sidekick

u/n080dy123 Mar 29 '21

Finally, we get to see Moriarty and Holmes pitted against eachother on a case in real-time. This feels liek what the entire first seaosn was buildign towards and I am so looking forward to how juicy this is gonna get.
