Episode 12: Secret Sherlock
H.O.L.M.E.S. Ha! Love it.
Drug addition was so rampant. Thanks for the Opioid Crisis, Victorians.
Hmmm, was Sherlock asexual? The mystery endures.

Episode 11: Seance, Science, and Messiahs
From an age of scientific discovery and new religious fervor, out comes its bastard child: pseudoscience. Creating: Mesmerism, Spiritualism, snake oil, spirit photography etc. then. New Age-ism, essential oils, EVPs, magnetic bracelets, etc. now.

Episode 10: Woman to Woman
Victorians didn't make lesbian activities illegal. It wasn't exactly acceptable, therefore still usually secretive, but there was little focus on it in broader society/religion. However, for working class women who wanted to have a relationship with other women, one almost always had to take on the role and look of a man (trans or not). Thank goodness for diaries, indeed.
