The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

1984–1985 · 2 seasons

A stately, talky Victorian mystery that rewards close attention with sharp deduction and a quietly magnetic, theatrical detective.

Overview: In Victorian London, consulting detective Sherlock Holmes wields not only powers of observation and deduction but also vast knowledge on anything relevant to solve mysteries, including crimes. Cases that would stump most detectives are merely short work for Holmes, who is ably assisted by his friend and colleague Dr John H. Watson.
How it feels: Tense, earnest, melancholic and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Mystery, deception, justice, friendship
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
