They said it couldn’t be done.
Review all the Sherlock Holmes movie and TV shows? That’s madness.
They may be right. But we’re going to try anyway.
There are some limits to the project, if only for our own sanity. One season of the “Elementary” TV show, not all 154 episodes.
We’ll also mostly focus on the US/UK Sherlock adaptations. We’ll make and exception for the Japanese “Miss Sherlock,” because Bill has seen and loved it.
We plan on posting a review every week to keep you up to date on the project. We’ll post the links on this page so you can find them all easily.
We’ll also post links to these reviews on our Instagram, Facebook and X accounts. Subscribe to them to stay abreast of the project!
Below is the current list we’re working from, as of 2/10/26. We’ll provide links to the reviews here as we publish them.
