Young Sherlock

Directed by Guy Ritchie, Young Sherlock is an 8-part origin story that strips away the polished veneer of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous detective.

Set against the backdrop of the 1870s, this series instead follows a 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes as a raw, undisciplined, and disgraced student of Oxford University, where he’s first introduced to a dangerous friendship with a young James Moriarty…
