Everyone loves a good mystery, right? Netflix started the month with one of its most anticipated original films of the year, “Enola Holmes 3.” The mystery franchise has proven hugely popular for the platform, delivering a lively, inventive take on the world of “Sherlock Holmes.” Adapted from Nancy Springer’s young adult novels, the first two installments established Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, who is Sherlock’s younger sister, and a quick-witted, fiercely independent teenage sleuth.
I can confidently say that “Enola Holmes 3” is the best entry in the Netflix franchise so far. It not only shakes things up by taking the story beyond London, but also leans into a more mature and emotional direction this time around. The film opens on Enola and Tewkesbury’s wedding day, before everything unravels when Dr. Watson reveals that Sherlock Holmes has gone missing. Suddenly, Enola is thrust into a new mission: finding and saving her own brother.
