What's the story?
The Irregulars.
I'll need more information.
It is a new Netflix drama about a band of misfits – the Baker Street Irregulars – who investigate supernatural crimes on behalf of Dr Watson and his elusive partner, Sherlock Holmes.
Terror is sweeping Victorian-era London as a series of grisly, paranormal attacks play out. The narrator intones: "Something moves through the streets like the shadow of a nightmare. It eviscerates all who stand against it."
Sounds intriguing.
It is an interesting premise. The Irregulars is based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and features an up-and-coming cast that includes Thaddea Graham, Darci Shaw, Jojo Macari, McKell David and Harrison Osterfield as the quintet of Bea, Jessie, Billy, Spike and Leopold.
Royce Pierreson from The Witcher and Wanderlust plays John Watson, with Henry Lloyd-Hughes, who recently had roles in Killing Eve and An English Game, as Sherlock.
Among its guest stars are Game of Thrones' Rory McCann and Two Doors Down's Kieran Hodgson.

The show is written and created by My Mad Fat Diary's Tom Bidwell. He previously worked on the 2018 adaptation of Watership Down for the BBC and wrote the semi-autobiographical, Oscar-nominated short film Wish 143.
When can I watch?
The Irregulars is available to stream on Netflix from Friday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
