... wait, the mystery Enola had to solve was who wanted to kill Lord Twittington? I thought that had already been established about 10 seconds after we met him and he basically told her

And then it was followed up with ANOTHER part where the murderer ALSO basically told her, and she still didn't catch on

If Helena Bonham Carter descended from on high to tell me how to kung fu Burn Gorman to death, I would be more upset than inspired, TBH

I don't know how I feel about the fact that famous superdumbass Lestrade is played by one of the two POC in this film

Yeah I mean eventually the books come around to Lestrade not being such a bad guy But he's a cop and ACAB And TV always makes the cop or the judge or the school principal or the medieval Captain of the Guard a PoC

Well, and Lestrade's entire purpose of existing is to be WRONG so that Sherlock looks smarter when he's inevitably right. I mean, he's not necessarily bad (except he's a cop, but on a sliding scale!), but he's not very good at investigating

He's a bad investigator because of his ACAB traits, his eagerness to jump to conclusions of guilt and arrest someone, what Sherlock calls his lack of imagination is just as much a lack of empathy, adherence to conventional prejudice So yes, making him a PoC is unfortunate

*checks* Adeel Akhtar is Lestrade? Oh wow that's some historical whitewashing They didn't let South Asians be cops in London back then, they didn't let South Asians be cops IN INDIA back then That's what people in India were so mad about
