Enola Holmes 2: The return of Sherlock’s younger sister: The charming Milie Bobby Brown plays the young sister of Sherlock Holmes in the sequel to the entertaining 2020 Netflix movie. Sherlock’s sister now runs her own detective agency, but clients who prefer to work with her famous brother quickly dismiss her. When a young girl arrives to ask for help in locating her adopted elder sister, Enola turns her head to face the camera, signaling that the game is back in play. There are multiple mysteries going on at the same time in the story that follows, as well as feminist themes, a working-class uprising, a love story, and a lot of new information about Sherlock Holmes. With a runtime of just over two hours, the film spends a significant amount of time laying the groundwork for another sequel, suggesting that Enola Holmes 3 is on the way.

Our verdict: This is a light, delightful, and easy watch, but it falls short of matching the charm of the first film (watch trailer, runtime 2:12)
