"Does the eight-part mystery-drama include scenes in which flippant young men in flat caps shout Oi while hurtling through the air in slow motion? It does. Are there bare knuckle biff-ups during which bulbous cockneys cheer on other bulbous cockneys and Irish folk music diddles frantically in the background? There are."
"For here is Young Sherlock, a very large and very loud new series for Prime Video that was executive produced and directed by the man who made Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, then that one with Brad Pitt, then some other films that weren't either of those ones apparently written through it like a stick of bleedin' rock."
"Off we whoosh to Oxford (home to arguably the greatest university in the world!), where smirking young pickpocket Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) has been forced by sensible older brother Mycroft (Max Irons) to earn his keep as a porter, becoming embroiled in his first case: a sprawling, Tintinesque affair involving deadly weaponry, ancient manuscripts, international espionage and long-buried family secrets."
Young Sherlock is an eight-part mystery-drama series for Prime Video directed by and executive produced by Guy Ritchie, featuring his characteristic filmmaking style including slow-motion action sequences, bare-knuckle fights, rapid editing, and comedic banter among male characters. The series follows young pickpocket Sherlock Holmes at Oxford University, where his older brother Mycroft forces him to work as a porter. Holmes becomes involved in his first major case involving deadly weaponry, ancient manuscripts, international espionage, and family secrets. The story includes his friendship with James Moriarty. Female characters are present in the plot but largely excluded from the action and humor that defines the series.
