Young Sherlock

Who would have thought that what I exactly needed this week was a Sherlock & Moriarty team up?

I would usually turn my nose up at a show set in the 1800s, but the moment I discovered this series was in development with Hero Fiennes Tiffin cast as Sherlock Holmes, it became an instant must-watch for me. As it turns out, it was a truly sensational experience. Fiennes Tiffin was phenomenal as the titular lead, delivering exactly the kind of magnetic performance I’d hoped for, and the wider cast was equally impressive, with every actor inhabiting their character to perfection.

The narrative of the first season was impressively complex and layered with twists, each of which was revealed with satisfying precision. Beyond the writing, the production value was extraordinary; the art style, direction, and authentic locations—right down to the set dressing and costumes—were absolutely spot on.

I found myself particularly hooked from the fifth episode onward, as the action and suspense shifted into a higher gear and never once let up. The season finale was incredibly intriguing and clearly laid the groundwork for a second chapter, which I sincerely hope is confirmed in due course.

It is an utterly brilliant piece of television, expertly crafted by everyone involved in the production. 10/10, a must watch!

I went into this unsure yet left it so excited for s2. sherlock and moriartys dynamic is great and I can't wait to see how / if they take it to the enemy level. I'm also loving seeing sherlock learn and become smarter. we're watching how he came to be and it's great!
