What to Know

Critics Consensus

Young Sherlock doesn't aim to recreate Conan Doyle's work, rather, it takes pride in its liberal adaptation, delivering Guy Ritchie's signature blend of precise entertainment, sly style, and ingratiating characters.

Geordie Gray The Australian Mar 10
This is a smooth-brained Sherlock. Anyone hoping for the puzzle-cracking pleasures of Benedict Cumberbatch’s BBC series, or any real character development, will be disappointed. Go to Full Review

3/5
The show has some potential. Go to Full Review
Laura Miller Slate Mar 9
While the other characters in the series talk a lot about how smart Sherlock is, Ritchie hasn’t got the patience or confidence to persuasively demonstrate this. Go to Full Review
Lauren Veneziani WBAL-TV (Baltimore) Mar 31
4.5/5
One of the best series of the year with an amazingly fresh take on Sherlock Holmes with a career defining performance from Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Go to Full Review
Troy Ribeiro Free Press Journal (India) Mar 28
4/ 5
Young Sherlock succeeds because it treats youth not as novelty but as a crucible. It explores the making of a mind, not just the solving of a mystery. The overall trajectory of season 1 is confident and engaging. Go to Full Review

Amusing but shallow, Young Sherlock passes time without displaying the magic that turned Old Sherlock into a memorable icon. Go to Full Review

john J @RT07220984 1d As I watched the first three episodes, I grew to like the proposition and character development. Suddenly I found myself consumed; watching until my eyes required sleep. I finished the series in three nights with a hunger for more. What made Sherlock and how did his best friend become his nemesis. There are more secrets to know. Bring on season two! See more Michael S @RT70477509 6d Very well done fantasy/historical series with great production values and photography. I was really impressed with all the actors and thankfully this Victorian era mystery romp wasn't corrupted with the usual alternative casting we have to suffer through in most British and American movies these days. Although I wasn't fond of some of the modern music used in the soundtrack it doesn't detract to much from this ripping tale. Hero Finnes Tiffin is terrific and should go places. See more Yuri R @RT67148759 May 9 Achei inacreditavelmente decepcionante que a série carregue o nome Sherlock mas não faça dele um personagem perceptivelmente inteligente. Só o que ele tem é boa memória. Os demais então? O Mycroft se mostra completamente lento e bobo durante a série inteira, e por muito pouco o Moriarty não passa pelo menos. Aparenta ser o caso que todos na série são MALUCOS de achar Sherlock ou Moriarty nteligentes. See more timmy B @TimmyBlue May 6 Really great Acting, Cinematography, Set/Costume Design etc & use of modern Music thru out. It’s a fun, engaging Series doing justice to an Iconic set of Characters. Good job. One heavy drawback is the few gaping plot holes & character inconsistencies thru out. It becomes quite muddled & rushed towards the end, especially the final episode. It’s as though they showed up on Set with no idea what to shoot & simply just worked something out really quick…was it being Written while being Filmed? It seemed so. As if there were no formal pre-production or forethought going into that Episode. It was an incredibly disjointed & disappointing Season Finale. Though, overall, it was still interesting & a joy to watch for the most part. Here’s to looking forward to what they do next. See more Robert C. @A8kman888 May 2 Great show. I was surprised how witty the 2 main characters were. See more Paul B @OddBurton Apr 30 I'm a fan of Guy Ritchie. This is an enjoyable watch and I especially liked the fact that the storyline is carried through the entire season rather than the typical one-off episodic crap. See more Read all reviews
