Young Sherlock is exactly what you can expect from a TV series that includes Guy Ritchie among the executive producers and especially as director of the first two episodes. The style is clear and defined, a trademark that rightly makes its author immediately identifiable. Young Sherlock has the bold arrogance of The Gentleman and the ruthless refinement of Mobland, just to mention two recent TV series also appreciated for the Ritchie’s touch.
Obviously, but it seems trivial to say, there is also Sherlock signed Guy Ritchie, of which somehow it seems to represent a perfect origin story. Victorian England as a backdrop to the TV series is much more modern than many contemporary settings, demonstrating that it is not a smartphone or a pc to transfer the idea of modern. The dialogues, the ways of interacting characters have freshness, vivacity and a subtle irony that sometimes travails in sarcasm. But this is also a typical part of the Ritchie Mountain and of those who are inspired by his work. Besides Sherlock’s character.
Hero Fiennes Tiffin has the seemingly candid and clean face but capable of showing malice and subtle acume with a simple change of look. He is a young Sherlock who still has to hire the canonical posture of the character, seems to be dragged by his intuitions rather than dominating and controlling them. It’s not the protagonist we know yet, but it’s exactly what we needed for this series. Much more than to compensate for the charism there is a magnetic Donal Fin that has in DNA the right ambiguity to give to his Moriarty. Still a student, not Sherlock’s rival.
The cast is the added value of this TV series, with Ralhp Fiennes, Colin Firth and Natascha McElhone showing how not protagonist is only a definition, is then the actor’s caring to shape the role.
The choice to focus the season on a unique and intricate case that touches the young Sherlock closely is smart but perfectly successful. The scene hits, the typical revelations of the world of Sherlock Holmes mark a series that is simultaneously a crime, a thriller, a family drama and a buddy-action. Young Sherlock is a pleasant TV series, full of rhythm, in which the genius of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps still to dominate. But he’ll make his way.
Young Sherlock is on Prime Video with its 8 episodes all available.
