Watched the premiere of the CW's "Sherlock & Daughter". David Thewlis is Sherlock Holmes, Blu Hunt is Amelia Rojas, from California and of Native American descent (and I'm guessing Spanish ancestry as well based on the surname). Sherlock is stymied by a blackmail plot that has put Watson and Mrs. Hudson under threat if he intercedes in an ongoing plot that involves kidnapping the children of ambassadors in England. Amelia Rojas' mother has been murdered and was left a message by her mom that if that happened, Amelia was to find Sherlock Holmes, her father (which he denies when presented with the idea). She travels from California to London and shenanigans happen leading Holmes to realize that Rojas presents an opportunity for him to act without tipping off whoever has snared him in their trap (probably Moriarty).
I feel they give Amelia enough of a background sketch in the opening that it goes towards explaining why she is a skilled and capable potential partner for Holmes. Thewlis and Hunt are good. I like the cut between scenes using map shots showing people travel, Raider of the Lost Ark, style that actually give an interesting idea about how much time it might have taken to travel in the time period. There's an aspect of it that is anachronistic, not unlike the 70s shows set in the 20s and 30s that were both period & 70s at the same time. Not enough at this time to be a bother. There's an invention mentioned that reminded me a bit of Murdoch Mysteries ahistorical inventions.
I liked it enough to give a few more episodes a try.
