Young Sherlock<\/strong><\/a> is set to debut all eight episodes of its first season on Prime Video this week. Ahead of that, reviews for the show put it in rarified air.<\/p>\n

What are Young Sherlock reviews saying? <\/p>\n

Over on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, Young Sherlock has debuted with a perfect 100% rating. Although this is just for eight critics, the series has gotten a ton of praise, enough so that the show has lifted itself up above the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films, all of which were also viewed highly.<\/p>\n

Collider\u2019s Therese Lacson<\/a> praised the show, even though it skews far from more adaptive work. \u201cWhat Young Sherlock lacks in accuracy to the source material, it makes up for in pure entertainment,\u201d wrote Lacson. Screen Rant\u2019s Ben Gibbons <\/a>echoed that, calling it \u201can incredibly clever and imaginative retelling of a classic story that manages to preserve the best aspects of the source material, while also boldly breaking new ground and redefining the characters involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

ComicBook\u2019s Simon Gallagher<\/a> said the show felt like \u201can exciting new addition to a very familiar universe, unconcerned about making a pure adaptation, but faithful enough that the bolt-ons are very welcome.\u201d Variety\u2019s Aramide Tinubu<\/a>, likewise, said the show \u201cis a compelling origin story that brings a classic character to life. This time, though, he is spry and bold enough for our fast-paced 21st-century world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a charismatic, youthfully defiant Sherlock Holmes meets none other than James Moriarty, he finds himself dragged into a murder investigation that threatens his liberty. Sherlock\u2019s first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, leading to an explosive showdown that alters the course of his life forever,\u201d reads the show\u2019s official synopsis. \u201cUnfolding in a vibrant Victorian England and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street\u2019s most renowned resident.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Sherlock Holmes, and also stars Zine Tseng, D\u00f3nal Finn, Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, Colin Firth, Max Irons, and more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Young Sherlock is set to debut all eight episodes of its first season on Prime Video this week.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,79746,169494,19,17,169680,3973,128,336,133347],"class_list":["post-365154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-guy-ritchie","tag-hero-fiennes-tiffin","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-matthew-parkhill","tag-prime-video","tag-tv","tag-tv-news","tag-young-sherlock"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116163823179225750","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
