    • Trivia
      During an interview on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, interviewer Scott Simon remarked to Hugh Grant that before making this movie, Grant and Ben Whishaw had also just worked together on Paddington 2 (2017), and Grant replied, "Well, I mean, it is weird that I have in effect spent the last three years trying to either kill or have sex with Ben Whishaw in one way or another."

      When Holmes is at home in 1975 and the telephone rings they are watching the Fawlty Towers episode 'Basil The Rat'. This was actually part of the second series of Fawlty Towers and was not broadcast until 25 October 1979.

    Excellent, fun watch
    I absolutely loved this series. Hugh Grant and the other actors are amazing. I laughed out loud many times, but was also touched by the story and issues as a whole. It flew by and I felt very satisfied when it was done. I highly recommend this if you're looking for something easy to follow, intriguing, and with some good humor thrown in as well.
