Enola Holmes on Netflix

I didn't see where anyone commented yet on this Netflix movie.

My daughter and I watched it last night. It is wonderful. Rated PG13 and I don't even know why. It is delightful.

Here's a brief synopsis of the movie:

The Enola Holmes Mysteries is a young adult fiction series of detective novels by American author Nancy Springer, starring Enola Holmes as the fourteen-year-old sister of an already-famous Sherlock Holmes, twenty years her senior. When their mother disappears, Enola's brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, decide to send her to a finishing school against her will. Instead, with the aid of her mother who had provided hidden funds and an elaborate cypher for her daughter to communicate with her, E

I really enjoyed the movie. You really have to pay attention (like you must do with all of the Sherlock movies) because there are clues everywhere.

I'm sure there are going to be other movies with Enola as the star.

I got an email about this and am planning to watch it--maybe today. It's a series, so there will be more episodes.

Edited to say: @Annabellethecat66 corrected me and it is a movie, not a series.

@NickNack Well, one of the posts I sent here says that Bobby Millie Brown said that she's trying to convince the powers that be to agree to more follow up movies.

@Annabellethecat66 I should have Googled it before I said that. I saw a commercial for it this morning and thought it said it was a new series. I just now Googled it and see that you're correct.

@NickNack Sometimes it is hard to tell. But maybe you'll agree when you watch it, it's very obvious that there are more to come.

It reminds me a little (in that it's light-hearted) of one of my favorite movies recently "The Umbrella Academy". It's light-hearted somewhat ..... right?

If you liked Enola Holmes I would think you'd like Umbrella Academy...maybe?

I watched it just now. I liked it, I like at times Enola speaks to us the viewer with a wink and a nod.

@Jordan2 It's called breaking the fourth wall in theatrical terms. Shakespeare famously employed it in Richard III.

Watched it last week and truly enjoyed it. Hoping there will be more. Millie Bobby Brown is awesome and loved her in Stranger Things.

I guess I am the odd one out. I couldn't get past 15 minutes of it. I liked Stranger Things a lot and think the actress is wonderful, but this movie was just not for me.

@chessylady Garry Shandling did it on his show It's Garry Shandling's Show and I wasn't around at the time but I think George Burns did it on his show back in the day.

And used SO well in the Lovejoy Mysteries Series staring Ian McShane.

Enola Holmes 2 premieres on Friday.

I just watched Enola Holmes 2 and have to say it was very enjoyable (much more than My Policeman on Amazon Prime that I watched today). I hope Netflix keeps making Enola Holmes movies.
