Sherlock

Sherlock is a BBC drama series starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Una Stobbs, and Zoe Telford in a riveting modernization of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes detective stories. This series comes from co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, who wanted to return to the stories of Sherlock Holmes in a contemporary style. Sherlock Holmes has received many updates over the years, but it has never escaped the realm of Victorian-era culture and politics. This series seeks to maintain the adventurous spirit that has attracted readers to Doyle's stories for generations while abandoning the familiar time period and bringing the characters into the modern day. Sherlock Holmes (Cumberbatch) continues to be the brilliantly cunning but personally eccentric detective, and his loyal assistant Dr. Watson (Freeman) remains at-the-ready to keep his friend in line. Sherlock is an inventive and entertaining series that ushers classic English mystery into the modern era. MORE
