TV Show Review: The Irregulars

Source: Google Images

A crew of misfits investigates a series of supernatural crimes in Victorian London for Dr. Watson and his shadowy associate, Sherlock Holmes.

Source: Netflix (2021)

Cool Concept but Poor Execution

Before getting into The Irregulars, I really did not know it was a supernatural twist to the classic Sherlock Holmes. So, imagine my surprise when I watched episode 1 and suddenly the screen focused on the door labelled '221B Baker Street'. Of course, then I expected a very Sherlock Holmes-y TV show but nope, that expectation was far from it.

Yes, we still get Sherlock Holmes but due to certain events in his past, he has succumbed to the opium addiction. Which personally, I liked seeing because one, it showed a "kind of accurate" depiction of history during that time. And two, it showed a side of Sherlock we rarely see, one whose judgment is more wrong than right and not nearly as perfect as media likes to portray him. We also obviously got John Watson and I am a bit conflicted with his character in The Irregulars. I love John Watson no matter which adaptation I am watching but there was a time in The Irregulars where I felt so bored by him. I thought the writing for this show's John needed to be better, there was no John Watson essence in this version at all. Moreover, the plot twist(s) in his character arc was so predictable, nobody can convince no one saw what was coming.

Of course, because this is a retelling of Sherlock Holmes (older and with a supernatural twist), there are a lot of crime investigation by a group of children who finds themselves linked to Sherlock and John in some ways. I will be critically honest here, if there was no supernatural twist at all, I would have hated The Irregulars – the children investigating the cases were not fun to watch at all. Bea despite being the oldest is perhaps one of the most flawed person in the group, other than her age what or who made her the leader? Without Jessie, the group is pretty much useless in solving all their cases and worst of all, we barely got anything about her powers. Billy, though a hothead, is probably more clear minded and fitted to lead the group more than Bea. Maybe Billy is more brawn than brains but I still think he can lead the group; he can be objective when he needs to be. As for Leo, after Jessie, he's definitely the second most useful member of the group yet the amount of bullshit he goes through with his family and this group of children? What does he see in his friends? Last but not least, my favourite, Spike was done so dirty by making him so unimportant. There was a scene where the group fell apart and eventually came back together just because Spike worked the hardest for that to happen. He called himself the skeleton of the group but I feel that, he's the glue that keeps them together and without him, the group will cease to exist.

Moving on, can you believe that I enjoyed the filler cases over the main issue driving this show? The filler cases had more action and way more crime-solving bits. The main issue was a huge disappointment just like the big bad villain. I mean, who did not see the villain's twist, it was so bloody obvious since the first appearance. On the brighter side though, I am very glad the production team did not go down the route where they made Alice a villain. That episode was underwhelming but at least Alice did not hit all my predictions.

Considering there is no season 2 to this TV show, there is no point in me furthering this review. However, I know I would have enjoyed the children working together with John as a team with a friendlier relationship.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)

P.S.: Help, why was The Irregulars so dark? Even my brightest setting was not enough.

Hello, I just read The Watsons. I didn’t had any expectations but it was so fascinating and felt so sad when it ended, even knowing already that it was incomplete. Those few pages really left a big impression on me. Have you find any completions worth reading and with a resemblance of Jane Austen’s style?

I love your blog btw. I’m always interested in what you have to say in all your posts about Jane Austen and the first thing I did when I finished The Watsons was to look up your take on it.

I've only read The Younger Sister by Catherine Hubback which really went off the rails so I wouldn't suggest it. I only finished because I was reading it with a group.

The Watsons is interesting because I feel like Austen never finished it because she used pieces for other stories instead. Tom Musgrave is a lot like either Willoughby or Henry Crawford, Lord Osborne almost seems like a proto-Darcy (more awkward and less proud, younger too), and Mr. Howard kind of reminds me of Mr. Knightley. Emma is like a mix of Fanny Price & Jane Fairfax. The brother reminds me of John Dashwood. But I don't read it too much because it also makes me sad that it wasn't finished.

Edward Austen-Leigh's Memoir provides a hint of how it was to continue:

When the author's sister, Cassandra, showed the manuscript of this work to some of her nieces, she also told them something of the intended story; for with this dear sister – though, I believe, with no one else – Jane seems to have talked freely of any work that she might have in hand. Mr Watson was soon to die; and Emma to become dependent for a home on her narrow-minded sister-in-law and brother. She was to decline an offer of marriage from Lord Osborne, and much of the interest of the tale was to arise from [the dowager] Lady Osborne's love for Mr Howard, and his counter affection for Emma, whom he was finally to marry.

One other thought: in her orphaned state, it seems a bit unrealistic that Emma wouldn't marry Lord Osborne, so maybe Austen figured she'd set the heroine too low and the foil too high. This is the only love-interest-possible in Austen who is part of the nobility.

And thank you!!! Also, if anyone has read other The Watson's completions, I'd be happy to hear about them.

⛵️ Five Fandoms, Five Ships ⛵

Get to know the blogger, via five different ships from five different fandoms!

Thanks for the tag @underacalicosky !!

Putting it under the cut because this is LONG, sorry.

I love them your honor. Doesn't even have to be romantic, I just want to see them being obsessed about each other. I'm also a pretty big obianidala fan, hence why I added her too. (I'm a multishipper really. I have my otp but there's a lot of ships that I enjoy)

1. Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker(/Padmé Amidala) (Star Wars)

When I first watched star wars (not that long ago, I only watched it because I wanted to see the sequels in theater lmao) I wasn't a big fan of the prequels so I mostly ignored them, but then a couple years ago I randomly rewatched them in the middle of the night and suddenly I was obsessed. I'm not even sure how I ended up on AO3 (did I go look for obikin? Did I stumble on it? Idk) but eventually I started reading Pining in Preschool, then realised that @palfriendpatine66 was on tumblr, I started interacting with more people around here, and now I'm (slowly) writing fics, and I'm having the time of my life here, so thanks Pal!

I don't think any if my past fandom brainrots reached my current level so I'm pretty sure I'm here for the long haul (at least it's not stopping anytime soon).

It's not super obvious here but I'm actually a huge Marvel fan (well, the MCU, I've never read a comic), and especially Captain America. Stucky is just, 🤌 so tasty (a lot of similarities with obikin actually imo). I'd like to talk to whoever thought "I'm with you 'til the end of the line" was a straight sentence to repeatedly say to your bro throughout an entire century though. Like?? I'm all for relationships that defy the boundaries of platonic and romantic, but still, that's kinda gay.

2. Steve Rogers/James "Bucky" Barnes(/Peggy Carter) (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

The first MCU movie I saw was actually captain america 2 (and not the first one lol) in theater, and I was instantly hooked, though since Endgame I've been less into it, since my fav is gone (and I have to agree with tumblr on that one: they're making too many movies and shows, I can't keep up 😩)

(And I'm still super salty about what they did to steve in canon, they should have killed him off instead of whatever the fuck that was, honestly)

I also added Peggy because she's great, and polyamory is so much better than love triangles or shipping wars. (I'm not polyamorous but I believe in their beliefs. I think it's because of the aromanticism)

Same as with obikin (and stucky too tbh) I don't really care how they love each other, I just care that they do. They're the most important person to each other, be it romantic, platonic, familial, idc.

3. John Watson/Sherlock Holmes (mostly BBC Sherlock, but from the RDJ movies and the books too)

I've obsessed over (non-existent) clues during the last season, and deluded myself into thinking they'd become canon, alas, it didn't happen.

I've translated a couple of fics in french for that ship, but I've never written for it (I thought about it tho), and I've read a lot. That's the fandom where I've read some of the best queerplatonic fics, and that's my favorite interpretation of the ship, especially sherlock being some flavor of aroace.

4. Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)

I love them as a queerplatonic relationship, and I genuinely think that's what they are in canon, the haters can suck it, that's not queerbaiting even if they dont become a canon couple.

Okay, I'm starting to see a patern here. Am I really that predictable? You can just copy-past what I said above.

(I'm fully on board with them being a couple though)

Hey, a straight ship! With a woman not added as a second thought!

5. Elizabeth Bennet/Mr Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)

Not quite the same vibe as the others, but I've read sooo many fics and books (straight up published fics lol), I've watched a bunch of different adaptations (even the one with zombies)... The worst part is that I think I've only read the og book once, oops.

I actually inherited that fandom from the women in my family lmao. My mom, sister and sister-in-law are all obsessed with it, so I read it to see what all the fuss was about and, yeah, I get it.

And that's it! There are other fandoms I'm into, and other ships in those fandoms, but that's pretty much it (the main one that's missing is Dinluke, the others are mostly smaller ones).

I'm not super actively in those fandoms (apart from Star Wars obviously) but i come back to them now and then. Usually I re-watch it then binge-read a bunch of fics (while my main fandom stays in the main spot in my brain) then I let it go again until it comes back (while obikin still stays in the main spot).

Also Harry Potter used to be my main obsession but JKR kinda ruined that for me so I'm not really into it anymore (hence why I didn't list it even though I have written fics for it).

Anyway that was way too long, if you've read all of this then props to you!

I'm tagging: @cottonraincoat @fem-anakin-skywalker @kingdomvel @ineffable-snowman @arobiwan (and whoever else wants to do it because I'm nosy and I want to know stuff about people)

Darcy Lewis/John Watson

For: @thestanceyg​ Prompt: Let me show you my special recipe for hot cocoa. Yeah, I know it’s Swiss Miss, but I add extra marshmallows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John was soaking wet when he finally rang her doorbell.

It buzzed out in the silence. When Darcy had been trying to be all melancholy and morose. She’d been watching the rain drip down the windowpane from her perch on the couch. Her tea was lukewarm if she was being hopeful, realistically it was room temp, she’d forgotten about it after steeping it.

She wasn’t expecting anyone to stop by, let alone him.

Not after the fight they’d had.

‘A row,’ he’d call it.

Whatever it was, she’d yelled. He’d yelled.  She’d slammed the door to his apartment so loudly it rattled her teeth.

And he hadn’t come after her.

That had been that morning.

She wasn’t sure what they’d been fighting about, but the subtext was the same as it always was.

It wasn’t her fault that she couldn’t exactly make long-term plans. Or that he’d gone and caught more than feelings. She hadn’t asked him to.

That was a lie and she knew it. John knew it. The Queen’s people knew it.

She might not have asked outright, but she asked with the curl of her lips when she smiled at him. She asked with the soft pluck of her fingers in his short hair. She asked with her feet in his lap, her hand in his while they watched TV.

But whether or not she’d been begging him to fall in love with her or not, it didn’t change the fact that she didn’t know what her life would look like in six months. Or that he wanted more of a guarantee than that.

Darcy padded softly to the door, her fuzzy-sock-covered feet making no sound on the carpet or the hardwood.

When she opened the door, he was standing there, looking like a drowned puppy. What else could she do, really?

She stepped aside.

“I’m dripping,” he said, in way of explanation.

“So take off your shoes,” she countered.

“My trousers…”

“Take those off too,” she said with a smirk.

He caught her gaze and tossed back an incredulous look. One that plainly said, ‘really? Now?’

She shrugged and waved him in any way.

“You look…” he sighed. “Adorable. As per usual.”

He took off his coat, hanging it on the hook by the door. His shoes followed suit.

“You look like hell,” she said softly.

“Oy,” he retorted, bending to yank off his socks.

“What? Hell looks good on you, Dr. Watson,” she grinned.

John returned the smile for a moment before it dropped from his face again. He was still dripping in her foyer when he said it. “I’m sorry.”

“Me too,” she replied. “I shouldn’t have yelled. I know it’s frustrating… I’m sorry that I’m not more… nailed down.”

“No, no, not at all,” John replied, reaching for her hands. He felt cold. “No, I knew what this was going to be. I… I was the one who fell--”

“So did I,” she interrupted, eyeing him pointedly. That was as much a confession as he was going to get. For now. “Now get in here and get those wet clothes off… I have some of your pajamas in my room. Go change and I’ll make some hot cocoa.”

He trudged towards the hall and she sighed at the puddles he was leaving behind him.

She was halfway through dumping the instant cocoa pouches in the mugs when he returned, slipping his arms around her waist and pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

“You’re in luck. You get my super-secret special hot cocoa.”

“That’s instant. Swiss Miss, if I’m not mistaken…” John chuckled.

“Yeah, okay, that may be true, but I add extra marshmallows,” she argued. “It’s super-secret. And special. I don’t make this for just anyone.”

The kettle wasn’t boiling yet, so she spun in his arms and rested both hands on his shoulders. She squeezed, and he spoke. “Did you mean it? Earlier? When I said I was the one who fell in love and--”

“You heard what I said, John Watson. That’s all you’re getting from me.  That, this hot cocoa and a lazy afternoon in bed trying to warm up your stupid hands.”

He had a goofy grin plastered onto his face that she wanted to kiss off, but besides that, he didn’t bring up anyone’s fall after that. She was pretty sure it was the hot cocoa. She put lots of love in every marshmallow.
