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 Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Mar 9
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 Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Mar 27
Amusing but shallow, Young Sherlock passes time without displaying the magic that turned Old Sherlock into a memorable icon. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jezzibella M @JellyBean2309 15h I am excited to see what they do with young Sherlock!! Having a fresh take on the relationship between the two boys has me on the edge of my seat. See more Mildred M @Milly871 Jun 23 It’s Sherlockian that meets Indiana Jones. I loved it. I loved the action and the intellectual wit plus a good dose of humor. There is violence for sure but softened and fast paced that it’s not dwelled upon. See more Rowena D @RowDel Jun 17 I have been pushing myself through this season. I’m on episode 4 and I think I’m stopping there. I’m not a fan of Sherlock or Moriarty. I might watch the second half of the season but I’m not getting my hopes up it will be any time soon. See more ARNEZ C. @Arny6tearz Jun 15 This most definitely is Sherlock how he should have been portrayed I look forward to season 2 I wonder if Watson will make an appearance See more Suzanne R. @SuzRuark Jun 7 Delightful fun with enough drama and twists to keep it from being camp See more Gareth V @geewah Jun 3 It's slick, it's fun in bursts, but this is a show that keeps tripping over its own ambitions and never quite becomes the thing it clearly wants to be.
