Excited for this! Sherlock Holmes has universal appeal. As an Indian viewer, I'm curious to see if they incorporate any elements from his canon that hint at his time in India (like the Agra treasure from The Sign of Four). The cast looks stellar.
Not sure about this. Another origin story? Feels like Hollywood is running out of original ideas. We have so many rich mythological and historical stories in India that would make fantastic series. Why must everything be a reboot?
Hero Fiennes Tiffin is a great choice visually, but can he pull off the genius-level arrogance and vulnerability? That's the real test. The premise with a young Moriarty is intriguing. Definitely adding this to my Prime Video watchlist.
Prime Video is really investing in big content. Good for us subscribers! Hope the "globe-trotting conspiracy" means we get to see some locations outside England. A Victorian-era mystery with some international flair could be brilliant. March 2026, please come faster!
With respect, I have to offer some criticism. The synopsis says "anarchic adolescent." I hope they remember Sherlock was eccentric and brilliant, not a chaotic teen rebel. The charm is in his deductive reasoning, not just action sequences. Fingers crossed they get the balance right.
