Sherlock

4 Series Stars Benedict Cumberbatch Modern London Crime Drama Emmy-winning

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reinvent Holmes and Watson for the smartphone age in this dazzling, stylish update. Each feature-length episode is a puzzle box of clever deduction, kinetic visuals, and crackling chemistry between its two leads. Sharp, funny, and occasionally maddening in the best way, it became a global phenomenon — and Andrew Scott's Moriarty remains one of TV's great villains. Sherlock streams on BritBox in the US.


Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss created Sherlock together, and despite its very London setting, the series was filmed largely in Cardiff, Wales — with North Gower Street standing in for Baker Street. Over four series and one special, it won nine Emmy Awards in total, including a single-night haul of seven for Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, and Steven Moffat's writing. The show has since been sold to 180 territories worldwide.
