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 Luis Bond Diario las Américas 5d
5/5
At a time when great fictional characters are exploited in franchises until they become diluted—or, worse yet, "reinterpreted" to the point of completely betraying their essence— Young Sherlock emerges as a model to follow[Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist 5d

See more Coen W @RT81677052 1d Just to many plot holes See more Al A @RT36830200 2d This series is annoyingly self-absorbed, straining to be glib and edgy. Music score is bad. DEI efforts are weak. Fiennes does a good job, but he's stuck with weak material. See more Read all reviews
