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 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. Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 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. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Cristina Escobar RogerEbert.com “Sherlock & Daughter” makes multiple bewildering stylistic choices that undercut the fun of trying to solve the mystery along with the famed detective. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba 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. May 1, 2025 Full Review Polly Conway Common Sense Media While well-intentioned, this Sherlock series doesn't feel as fresh as it could. Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Intriguing leads and a surprisingly charming premise make Sherlock & Daughter an interesting, if slightly gimmicky, interpretation of the great detective.

Linda G I'm really enjoying this show. I hope there will be a second season soon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Elisha I 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Sky W 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. 🤞 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review jerry s I'm sorry but Blu Hunt, the daughter, acted as though she was time-warped into movie from suburban Los Angeles, circa 2025. Part of this is on the screenwriters and director, who let her go with a super-chick know-it-all schtick, but most fault lies with the actress herself, whose facial expresions lacked breadth or depth. Otherwise, this is a fun series, with story-telling techniques that move it right along, and a host of actors that put you right in period London---until Hunt enters the scence. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review David T More! More! More! David thewilis, Sherlock Holmes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review John D Far and away outer favorite of the many versions of Sherlock Holmes. Erudite and sophisticated dialogue, clever situations, great casting and wonderful costumes. We recommend it highly for just plain good entertainment... and time we'll spent!
