Alright, but marred by a music department that, having been given a show that rarely uses background music, PLAYS ALL THE MUSIC IT DOES GET LIKE THIS TO THE DETRIMENT OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SAYING.
I am not getting the slashy vibes between Detective Aerostat and H+W, and H/W only works when they both have the option of riding an Aerostat when the other one gets mean.
Non-white characters in a show set in london consist of a bitchy and slightly melodramatic detective who hates holmes but who holmes only acknowledges exists when he needs to get at as her lumpy-faced and dimwitted bf (who is of course white, as per standard BBC policy), and a therapist of watson's who we see for almost a minute and who doesn't get much of a chance to act.
Luthor is better.
