Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
It may not be the boldest statement, or the most radical transformation for a character we already know so well. But it’s just disarming enough to make this latest entry in the ever-expanding Sherlock universe feel comforting in its familiarity, rather than tiresome.

Season 1 Review:
Thewlis, who has the ranginess and sharp profile one associates with the character, is a fine Holmes, caustic with a comic edge, and Hunt holds her own as his problematic partner. I can’t say the plot makes perfect sense — as only half of the eight-episode season was available for review, I have no idea where it’s going — but you can say that about many if not most mysteries, and it’s enjoyable from moment to moment.

Season 1 Review:
As a Holmesian, I find it offensive that Holmes, a radical human in every sense, should be cast as comically discombobulated by a young woman’s liberated behavior, however anachronistic it might be. But Mr. Thewlis provides a novel twist on an oft-visited character.

Season 1 Review:
Sherlock and Amelia are not exactly mentor and mentee, but something less interesting and indistinct. And yet the two of them working together would be a decent enough premise if we actually got to see them working together. The show prefers splitting them up, and when the focus is on Sherlock, it works.

Season 1 Review:
It gives us a mish-mashed nothingburger of a show that will surely fade from our memories before it’s finished airing. Let’s hope for better parts for Hunt (veterans Thewlis and Scott will be fine regardless). And if you want some Sherlock, I suggest you look elsewhere.
