“#The Irregulars Review: Chapter by Bloody Chapter<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Netflix’s new supernatural horror adventure series<\/a>, The Irregulars, is based on the Baker Street Irregulars characters from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes novels.<\/p>\n

I am creepily thrilled with the gory, gooey, hematic mess left on the floor.<\/p>\n

The debut season is full of dark ambiance and disgusting blood splatter.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

You’d have to forgive me if I were expecting a tweeny-adventure show. The lead characters are young, indeed. But this is adult horror fare. And I ate it all the hell up.<\/p>\n

As we were fortunate enough to view the entire season, let’s review chapter-by-chapter (semi sans spoilers, somehow) to sum it all up.<\/p>\n

Chapter 1: An Unkindness.\u00a0<\/strong>We are introduced to the gang of former workhouse orphans. I refrained from screaming out, “Please, sir, can I have some more?” 38 times in the first few minutes (I’ll take that pat on the back!).<\/p>\n

While the series does have a monster-of-the-week structure, the first one — a birdly villain — sets up others to follow and creates a season arc.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

We meet sickly prince Leopold (Harrison Osterfield), who feigns poverty to hang with one of our lead sisters, Bea (Thaddea Graham).<\/p>\n

Then, there’s the God-type figure, known only as Linen Man (Clarke Peters) — see, he wears white linens. He comes to the other sister, Jessie (Darci Shaw), in her psychic dreams\/nightmares.<\/p>\n

We get our first taste of gore, but just a taste … considering what is to follow.<\/p>\n

Dr. Watson (Royce Pierreson) meets the kids for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Chapter 2: The Ghosts of 221B.\u00a0<\/strong>Real interesting stuff churning here as we learn a smidgen more about why supernatural occurrences are on the rise in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Golden Dawn is a thing based on a real thing: the 19th-century occultist group in Britain.<\/p>\n

We learn of its existence here, along with a terrifying Tooth Fairy menacing the community. Gross.<\/p>\n

Chapter 3: Ipsissimus.\u00a0<\/strong>Learning a cool world, “ipsissimus,” might be enough to hold interest throughout this chapter, but we also are introduced to the Golden Dawn members by an adorable Michael Holmes — yes, Sherlock’s brother.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Oh, we like Michael. A lot. (At preview time, the actor’s name was missing from the credits.)<\/p>\n

Chapter 3 begins a new mystery, along with a romance triangle amongst the kids — the former being of interest and the latter not being as cheesy or boring as most romance stories, really.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 4: Both the Needle and the Knife.\u00a0<\/strong>I was singing Slayer’s “Dead Skin Mask” in my head throughout this one! (Don’t you miss the days of yore when masks were weird things?)\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s a doozy. And the metamorphoses caused by such masks in the chapter are fine, indeed.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

We finally get eyes on Mr. Sherlock Holmes. And only halfway through the season, ha!<\/p>\n

Chapter 5: Students of the Unhallowed Arts. <\/strong>Was\u00a0the wait for Sherlock worth it? Well, he’s no Michael Holmes, but the holdout builds intrigue that is difficult to live up to. It still works here.<\/p>\n

In an informative chapter, we learn more about the Rip between the dead and the living worlds.<\/p>\n

The song used at the end — which I believe to be by a band called Mesadrom — is incredible. I thought it was called “Move to Me,” but I cannot find it online. Any help from the fans out there?<\/p>\n

\n \"Darkness<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Chapter 6: Hieracium Snowdoniense.\u00a0<\/strong>Complicated title for sure.<\/p>\n

This chapter is a great exploration of relationships and the concept of marriage-till-death-and-beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And not quite what we were expecting.<\/p>\n

Chapter 7: The Ecstacy of Death.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>A confession that has been all too long drawn out lies herein.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

It’s not a surprise to anyone who was paying any attention at all. I suppose the execution is decent, but it feels forced — like maybe there was some executive mandate to throw it in.<\/p>\n

The Linen Man arc is in full swing here, and it’s pretty good stuff.<\/p>\n

Chapter 8. The Ecstacy of Life.\u00a0<\/strong>The season finale gets a little CW-ish in its conclusion. But the lovey-dovey triangulation stuff comes too late to ruin the show. Phew!\u00a0<\/p>\n

As is often the case, the conclusion isn’t as interesting as what comes before. It does allow for more gory gruesomeness to follow next season if there is a second one. And here’s hoping any following seasons aren’t ruined by dumb romance stuff (this is horror<\/em>, remember!).<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

I presume the show will do well with its tough kid characters, familiar but newly fantasized territory, and — most importantly — shock-inducing carnage.<\/p>\n

OK, OK, it’s not “shock-inducing” to those of us who feed on the hematic, but it’s got creativity to its bloodshed, of which I app<\/a>rove.<\/p>\n

While I do love one of the closing songs noted above, I find it odd how much contemporary music is used and how I\u00a0 seem the only one distracted by such annoying musical inclusions when it happens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I know for young adult programming, it is often key to sell new music. And it might even work on me, as I love music — just not usually music featured in television programs.<\/p>\n

\n \"The<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Such post-production decisions can sometimes make or break a show, though. Here, it hasn’t inordinately belittled the overall nature of the series.<\/p>\n

When a contemporary song closes out an episode, that’s not often distracting, but excessive use within the narrative is.<\/p>\n
