for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"
and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

MORE...I said I didn't like this story but there are many charming bits, including new besties holding hands and Holmes backstory lore. Also I love how absolutely DONE Mary Morstan is when talking to Sholto...the thinnest veil of politeness drawn over exhausted bitchiness. Watson really vibes with a certain type.
This is part four for THE SIGN OF THE FOUR, (Part one), (part two), and (part three)
(This is part of the Watsons sketchbook series!)
