ComedyMystery

Every hero has a weakness, and Sherlock Holmes' weakness was Moriarty. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solve mysteries and search for Moriarty in 1970s New York City. The fact that Sherlock Holmes is a psychotic paranoid and Dr. Watson is a female psychiatrist fascinated by his case is almost beside the point.

VIBE

A dry, intellectual puzzle box of a comedy. It's a conversation piece, a character study wrapped in a mystery, and a wonderfully strange New York time capsule. Feels like a forgotten gem.
