The first season has eight episodes.
Yesterday, March 4, Amazon Prime presented the series «Young Sherlock», which consists of eight episodes. The directors are — Guy Ritchie, Anders Engström, Tricia Brock, and Danny Gordon.
The first season will tell about his first case — the young man will have to solve a murder at Oxford University.
Young Sherlock Holmes is played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin (nephew of Ralph Fiennes), and his antagonist James Moriarty — by Donal Finn.
Sherlock's parents will be shown (the father will be played by Hero Fiennes' other uncle — Joseph Fiennes), as well as his brother Mycroft.
Colin Firth also draws attention, who played Professor Bucephalus Hodge with luxurious mustache and sideburns.
In the canonical Holmes (stories and novellas by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), there are no stories about the great detective's young years.
Andy Lane wrote about young Sherlock, and «Young Sherlock» is based on his novellas. Anthony Horowitz writes about the «adult» Holmes with the blessing of Arthur Conan Doyle's descendants.
In 2009 and 2010, Guy Ritchie directed two films: «Sherlock Holmes» and «Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows» starring Robert Downey Jr. Watson was played by Jude Law, Irene Adler — by Rachel McAdams, Mycroft Holmes — by Stephen Fry, and Moriarty — by Jared Harris.
Later, Ritchie's interpretations were overshadowed by the BBC series «Sherlock», where the main role was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, Watson — by Martin Freeman, and Moriarty — by Andrew Scott.
On the IMDb website, where films are rated, «Young Sherlock» has 7.4 points (646 votes), and on Rotten Tomatoes — 84 percent approval.
