It was only yesterday that we remarked the surprising reign of Dutch mystery thriller The Takeover as Netflix’s most popular movie was destined to be a short one, and normal business has indeed resumed after Enola Holmes 2 rose to reclaim its inevitable spot at the summit.
However, while the sequel to one of the streaming service’s biggest-ever originals becoming the top-viewed title on the platform is hardly a surprise, the critical reaction has most certainly been a pleasant revelation. Enola Holmes was an anomaly in itself after earning an impressive 91 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, a rarity for a company that finds most its in-house originals being sneered at, but the second installment has gone one better to improve upon its predecessor with a 92 percent rating.
