    In The Lively 'Enola Holmes,' Sherlock's Little Sister Goes Sleuthing

    This bright and breezy Netflix adaptation of a YA novel finds Millie Bobbie Brown starring as the brilliant, fourth-wall-busting little sister of Sherlock Holmes.

    "The train's afoot!": (L to R) Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin) literally look down on their younger sister Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) in Netflix's <em>Enola Holmes.</em>

    "Plucky" is one of those words that doesn't get out and about much anymore.

    Something about it feels off, a bit — regressive, condescending, even vaguely sexist, as it's usually only seen in the company of the word "heroine" these days.

    But I'm gonna dust it off and use it here, because there's just no getting around it —that. She is pluckiness made flesh. Pluck incarnate.
