What to Know

Critics Consensus

Putting a fresh spin on a literary icon, Sherlock & Daughter is occasionally too clever by half but satisfies thanks especially to David Thewlis' inspired turn as the great detective.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal Apr 18
Casting Holmes the investigative genius as so out to lunch about his own peccadilloes may stretch the patience of Holmes fans. Ms. Hunt may test everyone’s threshold. But I for one will take my Thewlis where I can find it. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Apr 17
Thewlis’ cranky, clipped performance spells out why so few venture to peel back the tweedy front he places between himself and everyone else. Only an insistent young woman with her own formidable mental and physical mettle would be bold enough to try. Go to Full Review Cristina Escobar RogerEbert.com Apr 17
“Sherlock & Daughter” makes multiple bewildering stylistic choices that undercut the fun of trying to solve the mystery along with the famed detective. Go to Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Jan 3
Brendan Foley’s brilliant spin casts David Thewlis as a late-career grump on a losing streak ... with the imposition of a possibly-maybe daughter in Blu Hunt’s kick-arse First Nations hero. Go to Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba May 1
I feel bad for David Thewlis. He’s an excellent actor and Holmes is a plum role. Under different circumstances, I think he’d make an excellent Sherlock. But this show ain’t it. Go to Full Review Polly Conway Common Sense Media Apr 30
While well-intentioned, this Sherlock series doesn't feel as fresh as it could. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Brandon M @RT05620714 Oct 23 I really tried to enjoy it, but I couldn't. Didn't like the guy cast as Holmes, all the clues made NO sense then Sherlock explained everything like the audience is a bunch of dumb shits. ONE OF THE WORST SHERLOCK SHOWS EVER See more Gareth v @geewah Sep 25 A passable but uninspired take on the Holmes legacy. The premise had potential, but Season 1 fails to bring enough wit, intrigue, or originality to justify itself. See more TJ W @RT85360278 Aug 24 Very well done! Would love to see more seasons of Sherlock & Daughter. Congratulations to all involved in producing this series. Top notch work by everyone involved. Really enjoyed the first season! See more Linda G @RT36480410 Aug 10 I'm really enjoying this show. I hope there will be a second season soon. See more Elisha I @asapidox Jul 27 Decent mystery with some fun twists, but the acting’s a bit clunky and the pacing can drag. Has its moments, but doesn’t fully live up to the Sherlock name. Still, an easy watch if you’re in the mood for a light detective drama. See more Sky W @RT65421855 Jun 28 I really like this show! David Thewlis does a terrific job playing Sherlock and Blu Hunt is very good as Amelia. If you enjoy Victorian England and Sherlock Holmes then this series is for you as it has great sets and takes you back in time on an entertaining & mysterious ride. I hope there is a season 2. 🤞 See more Read all reviews
