A little long-winded in some stretches, not detailed enough in others but Holmes fans -- and fans of cop procedurals -- should like this. Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times 12/17/2013
The program overstates its case, suggesting that modern-day forensics wouldn't exist without Holmes. That's like saying there would have been no lunar landing without Jules Verne or no organ transplants without Mary Shelley. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 12/16/2013
How Sherlock Changed the World is one of those promising ideas that, alas, looks better from afar. Go to Full Review Anne Louise Bannon Your Family Viewer 12/17/2013
Lots of fun, really interesting, if a tad repetitious. Go to Full Review David Maine PopMatters 12/09/2013
2/10
This two-part, two-hour series is incredibly annoying, to the point of being infuriating. Largely this is because of potentially great subject matter, horribly mishandled. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/14/2016 Amazing documentary. Put together perfectly. See more 02/24/2014 This was enjoyable enough, but spent too much time with recreations of Sherlock, while not using the current BBC series (though it does show just enough to make you think they're tied in.) CSI experts all talk about Sherlock/Doyle inventing/inspiring them, and we also get some history of the development of CSI from Doyle's Professor in Scotland (the original Gregory House) as well as the first crime lab in France around the turn of the 20th Century. Interesting to see the reverence placed on a fictional character, but he is the greatest detective ever. (though Batman might resent that). See more Read all reviews
