Worth the watch and possibly re-watching

In the form of a documentary, we are shown how one of our favorite sleuths inspired forensic crime detection in movies and real life. The narrator, Andrew Lincoln, carries us through a soundbite series of actual people who were influenced by the techniques. I would like to have seen one presenter follow they're thought through rather than having the attention span of ADHD jumping back and forth through the same handful of experts. The program slows down to show some of the more common (or uncommon for the time) methods used to solve crimes that are not what they look like, and free the innocent. Of course, others may point out that Sherlock Holmes may not have been the first, but he comes to mind first. We also get to learn a little bit about the author of the stories, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and how he practiced what he preached. The one glaring drawback in the presentation is the lack of motive in each scenario. I am not a big Motive fan; however, it is glaringly absent.
