Just as he did when helming Doctor Who, producer, writer, and co-creator Steven Moffat contorts his Holmes and Watson into increasingly complicated and absurd storylines. The final two seasons? It was hard to hear them over the sound of my extended sigh. The first two seasons of the BBC’s modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation are near perfection, drawing on Doyle’s original stories and faithfully updating them for the 21st century and its technological complications. I’m half-tempted to break this ranking into two. Both lead actresses play their parts flawlessly my only real knock against the adaptation is Sherlock and the good doctor’s somewhat inconsistent chemistry with each other. The first images of Sherlock in her tan trench, stilettos, and swaggering stance are hard not to be attracted to. Wato Tachibana (Shihori Kanjiya) stumbles into a deeply personal mystery and the emotionally obtuse path of Sara Shelly “Sherlock” Futaba (Yūko Takeuchi). Returning to Japan from volunteering in Syria, Dr. Relocated to Tokyo, the newest title on this list also features one of the sexiest incarnations of Sherlock to date. The literally explosive first episode of this gender-flipped Japanese interpretation of Sherlock is guaranteed to grab your attention.
But if you like your 221B any which way you please, there’s lots to love. If you’re a Sherlock purist, you may skip this one. He’s matched perfectly with Lucy Liu as a patient but firm Joan Watson, Holmes’s post-rehab sobriety companion. Jonny Lee Miller plays a gleefully unhinged Holmes, recovering from drug addiction. While the format of Elementary isn’t particularly revelatory, the chemistry between its two leads elevates the entire production. It makes a certain kind of sense: Doyle’s serialized detective adventures serve as an urtext for the modern procedural, recreating a pleasant format with each new episode. Elementary had the potential to be a spectacular failure. All wrapped up in the form of a CBS crime procedural. Elementary (2012–2019)Ī modern version of Holmes.
