Netflix's new show 'The Irregulars' gives the Sherlock Holmes story a supernatural reboot
CNN
In this new TV drama, a gang of street kids helps the iconic, pipe-smoking detective solve supernatural crimes in a horror-infused reimagining of Victorian London.
Based on the Baker Street Irregulars, who appeared in three of the original Sherlock Holmes stories, the titular characters are a gang of scrappy street kids, led by a 17-year-old girl called Bea, who eke out a living in London's grimy underbelly. Watson -- an uncharacteristically sinister figure -- recruits the teens on behalf of his mysterious "business partner" Holmes, who is holed up at the duo's traditional base at 221b Baker Street.More Related News
