More About Young Sherlock Series
The Prime Video series, based on Andy Lane's highly praised book series, takes inspiration from the source material to present a compelling narrative. The show revolves around a 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes, who is depicted as a disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and still developing genius.
