Enola Holmes (2020 Harry Bradbeer)

Based on Nancy Springer novels, adapted by Jack Thorne, Sherlock and Mycroft's 16 year old sister takes off in search of her missing, eccentric mother. Encounters London, CGI and danger. And a cute missing aristocrat. Looks like it could easily turn into a series. Not sure the to-audience bits are necessary, some uneven stuff (she can hold her own against a killer, but Mycroft can make her cry?) The plot really isn't credible - mother taking off without a word, not wishing to be found but leaving clues. What's she up to? What then is she up to? Millie Bobby Brown is the girl, Henry Cavill badly cast as Sherlock, Sam Claflin is Mycroft and Helena Bonham-Carter the mother. With Louis Partridge, Burn Gorman, Adeel Akhtar, Hattie Morahan, David Bamber, Frances de la Tour, Claire Rushbrook, Fiona Shaw.

Camera: Giles Nuttgens, ed. Adam Bosman. Netflix. 

Filmed at Hatfield House, Luton Hoo, Greenwich Old Royal Naval College
