On My List: Young Sherlock TV Series

Looking at the trailer for the Young Sherlock TV series it feels like a prequel to the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies. It wouldn't be far-fetched especially since Ritchie is one of co-creators for the TV series and how seeing the similar mannerisms are for both versions of Sherlock Holmes.

Despite the mixed reviews I've seen for this series, I am very interested in watching it. I want to see how the story and mysteries will unfold. I do wonder why James Moriarty was added to the series? By including the character so early on, it takes away the mystery or mystique of his character. Well, he was also included in the 1980's Young Sherlock Holmes movie but in that he still had that mysterious element.

Hopefully, his presence won't take away from Sherlock finding his own self-growth and strength and while he continues hone his deductive thinking and skills. Anyway, I can't wait to watch this. The first season has eight episodes which are all available to watch.
