Young Sherlock (Amazon) -- From EP Guy Ritchie -- Premieres 3/4/26
From Guy Ritchie, witness the legendary origin story of Sherlock Holmes in this irreverent, action-laden mystery that follows the iconic detective’s early adventures. Sherlock Holmes is a disgraced young man – raw and unfiltered– when he finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty. His first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, culminating in an explosive showdown that changes his life forever. Unfolding in 1870s Oxford and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street’s most renowned resident.
8 episode season

Amazon spends $8B to acquire MGM to get their hands on that catalog of titles and franchises, then launches a series based on public domain IP. Makes sense.

As this is Guy Ritchie, does that mean this is the young version of the character specifically played by RDJ? That would be a neat little detail.

How would it be any different than any other period-correct version though? Those films are WB, so if there were any specific changes, they'd probably be blocked from this version anyways (i.e. the Ruby Slippers not being red in Wicked).

I don't know? Finding out would be the neat part. Have consecutive WS Championships with perhaps the greatest player in baseball history made you jaded while stripping you of all joy and wonder? Let the rest of us dream! MAYBE the show will connect with the movie. MAYBE the Braves won't completely suck next year. A world of possibilities!

Hopefully, it is as good as”The Gentlemen” series that Ritchie was behind over a year ago.

Young Sherlock - Dir. Guy Ritchie
On Amazon - It's an OK period drama but has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes. Holmes and Moriarty are besties? It's unfair to judge a series after 1 episode but this is falling into the one watch and done. If they were original characters it would be more interesting.

I watched 7 out of 8 episodes in one sitting. Only reason I am leaving the 8th episode for last is because I started late and am tired. So far, I think it's great and have had a blast. It's not a prequel to the RDJ movies but rather its own thing. For some reason, I assumed this was to be a case-of-the-week series. I was pleasantly surprised to see how it all begins as a case of theft to then balloon into something far greater. Very well done.

Yeah, I finished it this morning and had a great time. I really hope this gets another season. This arc concluded well, whilst it laid the groundwork for many storylines to come.

I always loved Sherlock Holmes stories when I was a kid. I watched two eps of this and started the third but just couldn't get into it. Maybe I just want my Sherlock brainy, not running around and getting into fights.
