But a better question might be why Watson is employing these kids to do anything. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, Holmes uses the Baker Street Irregulars as an information network. Investigating a portal into hell—to say nothing of dealing with the monsters that are coming out of (?) said portal—is well above these urchins’ pay grade, so to speak, even if one of them has some sort of psychic powers. Why Watson would ask a bunch of children to do anything relating to it is bizarre...and maybe a little sinister? Honestly, an evil Dr. Watson sounds a lot more interesting to me than any of the supernatural stuff.

The game will presumably be afoot when The Irregulars arrives on Netflix on March 26.
