Enola Holmes

Right now you can watch Enola Holmes in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 6,688 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Millie Bobby Brown's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Enola Holmes keeps coming up in conversation. Enola Holmes treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. While searching for her missing mother, intrepid teen Enola Holmes uses her sleuthing skills to outsmart big brother Sherlock and help a runaway lord. Credit to Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It was released in 2020. Enola Holmes is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Enola Holmes will keep you hooked. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Millie Bobby Brown carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.
