I watched the first episode of Young Sherlock last night on Amazon Prime. It stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin, nephew of Ralph and Joseph, as the titular character. It is created by, and the first few episodes are directed by, Guy Ritchie.
I really enjoyed the first episode. All the episodes dropped at the same time, so I will probably binge all 8 over the next week.
It was OK. I will continue as well since I liked the Guy Ritchie Sherlock movies.
Once again, Moriarty is more interesting than Sherlock.
I love that Joseph Fiennes and Hero Fiennes are in it, both related to Ralph Fiennes…the main Voldemort actor.
Not sure how that connects them to this show, but here we are.
So did I, but I’m not sure I will continue. It’s in danger of becoming more Rowling than Doyle, and it annoys the Hell out of me that nearly all the important characters in the Holmes canon are apparently living and interacting in Oxford when Holmes is a teen. Guy Richie is really hit and miss with me and I’m guessing this will be a miss.
Did you like his two Sherlock movies? I loved them.
This, however, was not as good as either, at least not the first episode.
That makes it a big NOPE for me, along with watching the trailer and thinking it was a Guy Ritchie parody, which turned out just to be Guy Ritchie 
Yeah, that was a fantasy stretch.
A show about Holmes earlier cases, before he met Watson could be interesting.
We also just watched the first episode. My wife will continue watching because she wants to know the outcome, but I found myself bored. It’s all very Ritchie.
We tried RJ Decker- Fun cast, fun “florida man” stuff, but the first episode did not endear me.
Of course we know a convicted Felon cant be a PI in Florida- or most states. But besides that, him on a crusade in the very first show is too much.
But still- my wife wants to give it another try, and it could turn out good.
I’ve been bingeing on so many TV series lately I should be embarrassed.
Untamed (Season 1) seemed OK – I like detective stories – but was too complicated: there are almost 30 distinct characters relevant to the plots. (I suppose the “big name” actor was obviously going to be Who-dunnit, but I didn’t even recognize the actor!)
In desperation I sometimes just rewatch episodes of series I DID like.
I almost gave up on The Best in Me also, but for a different reason: I don’t like Horror.
But I’m now in the middle of Episode 2 and the protagonist’s agent “hasn’t seen that look in [her] eye in a long time.”
So I’m going to continue watching! I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
There’s also the 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes. It’s not a lost masterpiece but it’s a decent go nonetheless.
