Sherlock & Daughter

Matt Roush says...

The great Sherlock Holmes returns to TV in a Victorian-era caper that pairs him with a spunky young American woman who claims to be his daughter. We meet Sherlock, played with optimum fussy arrogance by Fargo and Harry Potter alum David Thewlis, in a moment of crisis, shirking crime scenes for reasons he can’t discuss, though the absence of Dr. Watson factors into it. “These days I cannot even help myself,” he confides in Amelia Rojas (Blu Hunt), whom he first mistakes for hired help. Though they’re often at odds, Holmes sees Amelia as useful, being able to go where he cannot, and before long, the game’s afoot.
