Six months after the death of his friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson's old life isn't done with him, though -- Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century. "Watson" is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history's greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.

Aramide Tinubu Variety With an endlessly charismatic Chestnut leading the charge, the addition of some much-needed backstories and a focus on medical mysteries and the people enduring them, “Watson” eventually finds more solid ground. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Such escapism can have its pleasures. But it usually works better when the world we’re escaping to feels more consistently interesting than the one we’re leaving. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal There is no point in comparing one Watson to any other, because this one is so audaciously revisionist. But as a free-standing medical mystery series, it has promise. Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Watson‘s pilot holds a few twinkles of promise in its opening and closing acts, suggestions that while it may struggle when leading with its trite medical and interpersonal dramas, there’s potential for a more adventurous, thoughtful show. Rated: C Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said The evergreen Sherlock Holmes finds a new iteration in Watson which incidentally is one of a few Holmes series converging this season. Strange to follow the Holmes’ Dr. Watson in a medical clinic in the present day – a risky proposition for purists. Rated: 3/4 Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Maggie Lovitt Collider While Watson does suffer from how its ensemble is written — partly as a consequence of the narrative being set in the middle of some of these characters' arcs — Morris Chestnut is both a brilliant Dr. Watson and a solid lead. Rated: 6/10 Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
