Recent movies and TV.
Normally I try to keep my reviews focused toward "these were good and you should watch them" but I've watched a lot of garbage in the last couple of months so this one has more complaining than usual. You're welcome. The Bluff...

@jwz No Young Sherlock Holmes (1985)? Oddly enough, it's kindof a prototype for the 2009 Guy Ritchie film — more plot overlap than you'd expect.
We tried getting into Watson (2025), but were actively hurling insults at the TV by the end of the first episode. It's like someone ran House through an LLM trained only on scripts for the CW.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson meet as boys in an English Boarding school. Holmes is known for his deductive ability even as a youth, amazing his classmates with his abilities. When they discover a plot to murder a series of British business men by an Egyptian cult, they move to stop it.
