TJLC Explained: [Episode 20] Oscar Wilde & Sherlock Holmes

Today's episode of TJLC Explained discusses the parallels between Oscar Wilde and Holmes, with a special emphasis on the parallels between Wilde's trial and the events of The Reichenbach Fall. There are other connections too though, because it isn't 1895 anymore and things are changing for the better.
Thank you as always to my editor Stacey!

TJLC stands for The Johnlock Conspiracy or the belief that the writers of BBC Sherlock have intended for John and Sherlock to end up in a romantic relationship with each other since the start.
