Let's face it, the most interesting thing about Dr. John Watson is the fact that he's friends with Sherlock Holmes. Take Watson away, and you free the Baker Street detective from the trappings of Arthur Conan Doyle's original formula. Enola Holmes did it by centering it around Sherlock's teen sister, and now Young Sherlock is doing it as well by focusing on the titular teenager, played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Based on the young adult thriller novel series Young Sherlock Holmes by Andrew Lane, the Prime Video series follows a 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes at Oxford University, long before he's even heard of Baskerville or done any studies in scarlet. Directed by Guy Ritchie and created by Matthew Parkhill, this youthful adaptation of the titular consulting detective is full of action, mystery, and gumption, boldly taking on new directions with the existing lore and creating a uniquely new take on Holmes.
