The series premiere of Watson begins in Switzerland, at Reichenbach Falls, as a chase involving John Watson (Morris Chestnut), Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty fall into a river and then down a huge waterfall to what looks like certain death.
Weeks later, Watson wakes up in a hospital bed, having suffered a traumatic brain injury. He can’t even remember the name of his old friend Shinwell Johnson (Ritchie Coster), who tells Watson he was the only one that survived the fall. Johnson says Holmes left Watson money behind to run a clinic and for Johnson to be Watson’s aid.
