It’s episode 3 of the The Baker Street Irregulars! After that jaw-dropping ‘Elementary’ finale, we just couldn’t resist dedicating an entire podcast to these amazing women. Have a listen while we swoon over Irene, marvel at Moriarty and love love LOVE Joan Watson. With comparisons to canon as well as other Sherlock Holmes adaptations by the BBC and Granada TV, we talk about what makes these women, and this adaptation, especially groundbreaking in the annals of Holmesian tv.

It’s episode 2 of The Baker Street Irregulars, titled “The Sober Companion.” In this episode we take a look at Watson’s role in Holmes’ battles with addiction, and reflect on whether recent adaptations do justice to this extremely complex and intimate relationship.

Episode 3 will air two weeks from today (we promise!), and focus on how modern adaptations portray Holmes as neuroatypical.

Trigger warning for a couple references to sexual violence.
