I watched the documentary this series is based on a couple of times in the past and I found it to be a fascinating story. I would say this series does a good job for the most part in telling that story. There are a number of noteworthy performances, Amanda Seyfreid is reminiscent of Holmes. If not spot on with the voice. But how many females can speak in that tone? Stephen Fry is so good in the role of Ian Gibbons, he doesn't do much acting these days but that's not for lack of ability. He holds his own in the company of A listers. And William H Macy is great and almost unrecognizable as the Neighbour with his own motives. In my opinion this would be a 9/10 if Holmes Character was more accurately portrayed, She is more or less painted as nothing more than a villain, yet from watching the doco more than once I don't think she was that straight forward.
