Synopsis / Plot: TV Series (2010-Today). 4 Seasons. 13 Episodes. Co-created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the new Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson. Rupert Graves plays Inspector Lestrade. The iconic details from Conan Doyle's original books remain – they live at the same address of 221b Baker Street, have the same names and, somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting for them. Steven Moffat says: "Conan Doyle's stories were never about frock coats and gas light; they're about brilliant detection, dreadful villains and blood-curdling crimes – and frankly, to hell with the crinoline. Other detectives have cases, Sherlock Holmes has adventures, and that's what matters."

Critics' reviews

"A sharp, funny, clever series that remains faithful to the spirit of Doyle's stories while infusing them with a vibrant spirit of modernity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"'Sherlock' is the rare reinvention that's likely to enchant purists as well as those yearning for a new look at an old favorite"

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"The appeal is elementary: good, unpretentious fun, something that's in short supply around here"

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"Each week, the series takes on a Holmes classic, updates it, (...) and leaves you breathless. Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"'Sherlock' is an electric marriage of great writing with great performances"

David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle
"'Sherlock' weds the old and new in much the way Holmes solves his cases--making a complicated process look almost effortless"
