This is such a dark retelling/influenced Sherlock retelling. I was not expecting the REAL teenage issues going to be brought up. I just adore Charlotte. She takes no shit and is so smart. I loved how Brittany made Jamie and Charlotte very CLEARLY obsorbers of Sherlock and Watson's iconic personalities but also giving them their own identities.

I have absolutely no idea what in the hell is going on. There's four POV which are relatively easy to keep organized but the entire plot and appeal is just going right over my head (or doesn't exist).

So good and important but this ending made me so mad and frustrated
