Eccentric consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson battle to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy England.
Typical Victorian era sexism/misogyny. “Paddy” is used in a song that’s played, the word being an often derogatory word for Irish, especially in Victorian England when they where colonised by the English. It is sung by presumably an Irish person, so perhaps it’s in reclaimation. The g slur, rhymes with tipsy, is used by a non-Romani character, the slur being specifically used against people of Romani descent, which is a European ethnic group that originally migrated from India/South Asia. It is used on a woman who looks white(?) but has curly hair. They use it derogatorily, calling her a [g slur] woman. In the UK it is now a reclaimed term for Roma, but is still being used derogatorily in this context. Multiple jokes are made about women having beards, becoming fat, ugly or covered in warts as negative things. These are rooted in ableism, trans/intersexphobia and fatphobia. Especially when you consider the “ugly laws” inforced that “ugly” disabled and fat people where unable to leave the house or be seen by company. Trans and intersex individuals, especially women with beards (which often happens due to hormonal intersex identity) were paraded as “freaks” in freak shows.
It’s very strongly implied that Sherlock is raped. He is drugged and passes out whilst being kissed and then wakes up chained to a bed naked. The whole thing is just skipped over and played for laughs but it’s still very upsetting
Around 1:13:52-1:14:20. We see a man burst into flames and then jump out a window, falling onto a carriage. Around 1:21:01-1:21:41 a man and woman are almost on fire but are protected by a blanket (which is on fire). They are not hurt. Around 1:34:09 we see a flashback to the burning man jumping from a building
In the scene in the hotel with Irene, a needle is used to drug the wine. Right after he starts to feel the effects, it flashes on the screen.. Not used on a person, but it is seen.
Holmes often has sensory overload episodes when in places with a lot of other people. Not exactly a meltdown but he does seem uncomfortable and stressed.
Frequent use of ringing noises. Whistling kettle. Some use of the musical saw in the soundtrack. Holmes has a sensory overload episode, where multiple other customers in the restaurant he’s in make sounds, shown to us in quick succession and the audio overlapping.
No, but potential trigger at 1:57:02-1:58:12 when Watson and Mary walk in to find Holmes hanging from a noose. It is an experiment and he is not injured.
Specifically satanic cults, with murdering and ritual sacrifice, etc. A Father from the church is present to see the hanging of someone, and condemn him/pray over his body.
Sherlock is found chained to a bed naked (against his will) only with a pillow covering his private parts, clearly made to "show off" RDJs body to the audience
