For Your Consideration: Sherlock & Daughter isn’t enough Holmes for us, so here are three more TV twists on Sherlock lore
We have American Holmes, American Houses, and a Japanese Holmes for good measure in our suggested alternatives to the classic London edition
This week sees the debut of Sherlock & Daughter, a new spin on the Sherlock Holmes mythos that does two interesting things: firstly, it introduces a new sidekick who believes Sherlock Holmes is her father, and secondly, it lets David Thewlis play the great detective. That last one should not be underestimated; Thewlis is one of the greats, as anyone who’s seen Naked can attest to. However, the new show got us thinking: there really have been a lot of “Sherlock Holmes, but here’s the twist” shows across the years. Hell, there’s already one on US network television right now, in the form of the wonderful Watson. (Dual twists: it’s a contemporary series, and it’s about Watson after Holmes’ apparent death.) So, bearing this in mind, may I present for your consideration: three more Holmes But Not television shows.
(But seriously: check out Watson.
