One would have to be infinitely dense to not have seen the Holmes/Watson direct allusion between Victorica and Kujo. Of course, I’m confident that there was no love interest between Doyle’s two iconic characters. Although, knowing the internet, rule 34 would have cured that by now.

I suppose it is asking too much to produce a story about detectives and mysteries that doesn’t have a Holmes-type character. The archetype has become the essence of the brilliant investigator. Moreover, people accept it. They even wish and expect it. So, the obvious result is a batch of characters loosely based around a stock set of archetypes and plots.

We’re supposed to forgive this slight simply because Victorica is freaking adorable…so damn freaking adorable. Are we supposed to fall all over ourselves just because she pulls out a pipe before solving a mystery?

Well, I say, not unless there are bubbles!

At least, they haven’t had her pull out a magnifying glass.

The most unique aspect of this show is the endless wardrobe that Victorica seems to posses. In particular, the many bonnets and headbands (you had to see that coming).
