Poor writing, directing, and acting makes this a trifecta of awful.

Two stories that feel like hastily written Cliff Notes of any Sherlock Holmes story. I realize these are shorts, but that's no excuse for such inane plots and cardboard cutout characters perfectly matched by amateur-hour acting. Yecch!
