Sherlock Holmes has been done again and again.
Hrs a fictional character penned by Arthur Conan Doyle.
We've had Basil, Jeremy, Benidict, Robert Downey, Johnny Lee etc etc.
Spin offs and so on etc.
Watson is the newest and this followed.
I'm liking this, well cannot get any worse than Watson ( insert laughing emoji here ).
Give it time but I think this will be better than all the rest apart from Elementary. Nothing can beat that exceptional quality of TV series.
Give it a chance but its not elementary or anything close
I mean Conan Doyle gave us a specialist in deduction and yes we need more.

Sherlock Holmes is a work of fiction which will always remain popular though right now it is very over used.
So along comes CW, throws in a daughter for the gender diversity, gives her agency and attitude of modern times, and throws in some historical customs and you have this.
This would have worked way better if they had embraced the time period or modernised to modern times instead we have this lite version of all these themes.
The script is pretty dire, and I think the actors would have been ok if they had a decent fun script instead this feels like one of those fictional movie/documentaries and incredibly boring.

One of the endless iterations of Sherlock Holmes, this one comes with a young woman who may be his daughter. The story begins with Holmes mid-drama, trying to save persons at risk while feeling that greater risk may come from his efforts. Meanwhile, a young woman makes her way from New York City to London, hoping to meet Holmes, whom she regards as a personal hero.
The atmosphere of London, 1896, is convincing, so the viewer can relax into the story, which wastes no time developing. Holmes (David Thewlis) and the young woman, Amelia Rojas (Blu Hunt), begin the series as fully-developed characters. Their back stories and personality traits are quickly established. Holmes is self-important and surly, though considerations might be made due to his current situation. Amelia is bright, cordial, and eager to learn. When she makes her way to 221B Baker Street, her hopes are briefly dashed, but she finds a place in Holmes' situation.
Before long, the two are working together to solve a case, but not as equals. And the disparate duo competes with Scotland Yard and the Pinkertons.
The production is filled with graphics, which some viewers may like; others may find them distracting.
But the first two episodes are enjoyable, and there is potential for much more enjoyment if the script allows the main characters to grow into a relationship of depth and warmth, if only grudgingly.

I was expecting to be mildly amused but I ended up enjoying quite a bit. I used to to dislike Thewlis a while back but I've learned to appreciate some of the characters he's played though his Holmes here is a bit smug and annoying. Of course he's dealing with some loss and personal issues so he gets a pass for now. The daughter which could have been a waste of character is actually charming and interesting. I've seen untold movies and shows featuring Holmes as well as read dozens of novels and this is quite refreshing though somewhat reminiscent of Miss Scarlett and the Duke ( another good show ). This could have had dumb, unfunny jokes but while not overly dramatic it's mercifully not whimsical or campy ( two things I abhor ). Anyway give it a shot and you too might be surprisingly entertained.
"Sherlock & Daughter" offers a refreshing twist on the classic detective narrative, blending the sharp intellect of Sherlock Holmes with a new, emotional dimension through the introduction of a young woman who may be his daughter. The film balances mystery with personal discovery, offering clever plot developments and engaging character dynamics. While it respects the traditional spirit of Sherlock, it also modernizes the tone with warmth and humor. The chemistry between the leads adds depth, making the investigation more than just a puzzle-it's also a journey of connection and identity. A smart and enjoyable reimagining of the Holmes legacy.
