Elevator pitch:The intro really says it all. Sherlock Holmes is brought back to life in the 22nd century to help the great-great-...great-granddaughter of Inspector Lestrade and a robot Watson defeat the clone of Professor Moriarty. Is it good? No, not really... Is it fabulous? Yes.
Content warnings: Unexplored implications of what appears to be a child-friendly dystopian police state.
What kind of themes would you request for it?: There's so much world building that the show doesn't bother to explore which would be amazing to build a case around and Holmes and Watson's investigation could very naturally lead to them uncovering the dark side of the society they've been brought back into. There's casual brainwashing of criminals, environmentalists forced underground, and a whole population of police robots that are apparently one good book away from becoming sentient. Also, there's a legend of a robot hound on the moon that the show barely did anything with, and that's a darned shame.
