There have been over 250 on-screen adaptations of Sherlock. That’s a pretty insane number, and one that has earned him a Guinness World Record for the most portrayed literary human character. So when I first heard that Prime Video was making “Young Sherlock,” a new series that focuses on the character’s younger years, I wasn’t as thrilled. There have been so many that the hype, for me, had faded for this piece of work. But after watching it, I ended up being pleasantly surprised.
Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Young Sherlock'
- Rating: 4/5 stars
- Verdict: "Young Sherlock” is a fast-paced, clever mystery-drama that has plenty of action, suspense and humor. Guy Ritchie’s kinetic direction, the inventive mind palace sequences, and the evolving dynamic between Sherlock and Moriarty keep the story engaging. Though not as serious as other adaptations, it delivers eight episodes of thoroughly entertaining, twist-filled fun.
- Where to watch: "Young Sherlock" is streaming on Prime Video
