It seems that some people did not like Australian Richard Roxburgh as Holmes so he has been replaced by Rupert Everett.
Ian Hart returns as Dr Watson but he has put on a few pounds since the last movie, something Holmes refers to here.
Allan Cubitt has written an original story. Society girls are being killed in a ritualistic manner by a serial killer. Holmes deduces that the killer is after a certain type of young woman.
Dr Watson's soon to be wife Mrs Vandeleur provides the psychological insights.
Holmes and Watson have prickly relationship and Everett rather overemphasises the drug addiction of Holmes.
It is a Gothic melodramatic mystery with elements of a Jack the Ripper vibe to it as the story is set in the world of the upper classes and the London fog.
An early role for Michael Fassbender as a footman who always seems to be providing his fingerprints.
It is a rather over the top in its finale, although Holmes and Lestrade capture the suspect, they have no prove. Holmes deduces that something else is afoot.
The BBC did not continue any further with this series and rather gave up on Holmes until they bought it back re-imagined as the modern day Sherlock series.
