Isn't Sherlock entitled to a "Flaming Youth"?? I was, perhaps you as well.
To compare every Sherlock with the very mature Jeremy Brett version is unfair and constricts the Holmes timeline.
The expectation that he will always be mature is fantasy.
One stumbles (in youth) and if lucky, finds their footing. A.C. Doyle only portrayed a character that had ( with great flaws) found his footing. OK but what about his youth???
So,forgive some of the weaknesses of this outing. Clearly D'Arcy does a fine job of it; better than some of the other cast. Better than many that have played S.H.
It results in a respectable if not glowing presentation.
I'd say worth watching, flaws and all.
