I've been searching for a new TV series to watch on Netflix for the past week. I haven't been successful, but this looks interesting. I'll check it out.

I can't imagine a world where I'm unsuccessfully searching for a show to watch. We watch a ton of TV and we always have 50+ shows we need to watch.

If it’s a drama, has to be serialized with a unique plot - not basic cop, doctor, lawyer premise.
There’s more stipulations, but this is not the thread to go through all of them haha

I found The Irregulars to be at times intense. It is very character-driven with you learning about each of the main characters, who they are, where it started for them, fears, interests, loves, etc. Even the "bad guys" have a fair amount of detail.
If you have watched movies and TV shows with that one character that never likes talking about their past well welcome to a whole collection of them.
I'm watching Episode 7 as I write this and I really like the show. Can't wait to see the next season.

I am on the third episode and I have to agree that the show does an unexpectedly good job of providing the "villains/big bad" in each episode with nuance, so you come to understand why they ended up they way they are. A pleasant surprise since this show was not really on my radar until I recently noticed the thread for it on this site. It is worth a watch.

We're enjoying this as well. Good escapist fun and clever enough to keep interested.

Only watched episode 1, but I enjoyed it. Some parts were a bit formulaic/cliche, but good start and introduction for what appears to be interesting characters. Will keep watching!

I've watched the first three episodes and am liking it so far. I enjoyed seeing The Hound as the bird guy in the first episode.

Finished episode 5 and still really enjoying this.
I’m surprised they
I also thought the development with Billy was interesting. They took him to the precipice of cliche, and took a left turn!
Excited to see how the next 3 episodes turn out.
Oh, and I’m assuming the white hat man

Yes, the circumstances involving Ebola Holmes is what prompted my comment.
I finished all 8 episodes, and felt it got even stronger towards the end. I was especially surprised they didn’t make more out of the circumstances on the main character shift.
A few musings:
Has anybody heard word on a second series?

Cancelled.
Wow, they pulled the plug after it's been out less than 6 weeks. I guess no one was watching it.

I know for myself and many here, I struggle keeping up with all these Netflix originals and I simply just don't have time to watch all the ones I would like to no matter how hard I try.
I had moderate interest in this.

Well this is unfortunate. It wasn’t firing on all cylinders by any means, but I found the characters and plot highly enjoyable. If I had to liken it to something, I’d say Buffy season 1. Solid characters and premise, but a little rough around the edges.
Id still recommend watching. The general story and plot is wrapped up. There are a few dangling threads for the characters that were setups for what could come next, but nothing major.

We just finished watching this. I'm not sorry that I watched it, but it always felt as though something was missing. Can't put my finger on it.
I liked the young cast, but wasn't that keen on Sherlock and Watson.
It was cool to see Rory McCann.

I think the problem was that they built up Holmes to be a big reveal, and he turned out to be a boring sad sack. Like you, I thought the young cast was the best thing about the show. I'd rather have just seen them, with Watson and Sherlock being mysterious figures.
