Early reviews are praising Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock as a fresh and original approach to the classic character. The show, based on the books by Andrew Lane, features Hero Fiennes Tiffin in the lead role as the young detective.
This new series is a fun, fast-paced mystery that shows how Sherlock Holmes became the famous detective we know, focusing on his first cases and adventures.
The story begins when a rebellious young Sherlock Holmes encounters his nemesis, James Moriarty, and gets caught up in a murder case that could land him in jail.

The series begins with Sherlock’s very first investigation – a worldwide conspiracy that culminates in a dramatic confrontation and changes his life forever. Set in lively Victorian England and taking him on adventures overseas, the show reveals the wild, youthful exploits of the future Baker Street detective before he became famous.
The new Prime Video series, directed by Guy Ritchie – known for his work on the Sherlock Holmes films – will release all eight episodes on March 4th.
The cast is seriously amazing! We’ve got Dónal Fin as Moriarty, plus Zine Tseng, Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, Max Irons, and, of course, Colin Firth. It’s a lineup I’m really excited about!
Early reviews are out for the show before it starts streaming, and Collider says the prequel offers a fresh perspective on Sherlock Holmes.
The review found that while Young Sherlock isn’t a particularly faithful adaptation of the original story, it’s still thoroughly enjoyable and makes up for its inaccuracies with pure entertainment value.
According to Radio Times, the show isn’t perfect – it’s a bit chaotic and doesn’t always flow smoothly, and devoted Arthur Conan Doyle fans might not enjoy it. But, they also noted that Guy Ritchie is a master of creating highly engaging entertainment.
Shows like Young Sherlock remind us of the amazing potential of television, showcasing how strong direction, entertainment, and design can come together. According to TechRadar, Guy Ritchie deserves all the funding he needs if he continues to create projects as visually stunning as this one.
Young Sherlock premieres on Prime Video on 4 March.
