Guy Ritchie delivers a gripping non-linear story that feels like a perfect collaboration with one of the greatest stories ever told.

While Young Sherlock is certainly stylish, it doesn’t forsake substance for that style, setting up Sherlock Holmes’ first big case in a way that digs into the characters of Sherlock, Moriarty and others that are familiar to Holmes fans.

Devilishly clever things are afoot in this YA origin story as Mr. Holmes (a dashing Hero Fiennes Tiffin) rethinks his juvenile antics as a rebel hothead at Oxford and starts reinventing himself as the world’s greatest detective.

It doesn’t help that Fiennes Tiffin has been teamed with the explosively charismatic Finn, whose presence here reduces everyone within the blast zone to a smoking hillock of moustache. Still. The Tintinny stuff is a hoot and Firth is a blustery joy. And there’s a breeziness to all the capering that ensures even at its most geezerish, this is one Guy Ritchie joint wot ain’t entirely pony.

“Young Sherlock” is a fun ride, and it does some interesting things with its source material. By trying to become a blockbuster-sized globetrotting adventure, however, it loses focus and steam.

The evidence points less to a must-watch new Holmes chapter than to a handful of performers worth tracking from here. Unless you’re a casting agent, or a truly die-hard Sherlock Holmes completist determined to inspect every clue in the canon, there isn’t an especially convincing reason to open this case file.

This Sherlock is smart and periodically mopey, but he isn’t a compelling character on any level. .... The middle of the season isn’t just dumb, it’s dull and overextended. But then the show picks up again for the last two episodes, which hop around the globe, feature various twists and come close to salvaging the rest of the series.

I thought season 1 was great start to finish, I binge watched all 7 episodes over the course of just 2 nights in a row. The actor that plays James Moriarty steals the show and I predict will be the next great young actor from the UK. Weirdly Sherlock Holmes is the least interesting character on the show. His mom is even more interesting but it doesn't take away from the whole being greater than the sum of its parts because Sherlock does have chemistry with Moriiarty. Keep in mind the show is not a super serious show and there is a lot of humor sprinkled through and the clues that they uncover aren't anything super clever. Its all pretty simple stuff but it helps make following the clues and the overall plot easier and smoother. Some people might not like the twist of the seasonal finale but I thought it was pretty interesting and I didn't predict it. Overall super fun show, high production value, memorable characters and an intriguing main plot/mystery. I dig it and will be recommending it to my brother and sister right away!
