As you can probably guess from its title, Enola Holmes is about the younger sister of the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Starring Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, Enola has lived a sheltered life in her manor house, raised by her forward-thinking mother in 19th century England. Enola is a progressive young lady herself, who, rather than learning how to crochet, is skilled in martial arts, is well-read, and, like her detective big brother, is gifted with deductive reasoning skills.
