About Sherlock
The show follows the adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), a "consulting detective" who utilizes his remarkable mind to solve complex crimes in contemporary London. He is aided by Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman), a war veteran doctor recently returned from duty in Afghanistan.
Holmes is condescending to Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade (Rupert Graves) and the rest of the Scotland Yard crew at first, but soon impresses them with his phenomenal mind and powers of observation.
Watson's blog of their investigation contributes to the growing fame of Holmes, but he is not enthusiastic about fame. His cases are becoming popular with the public and even with the attention of the British government.
The series is comprehensive in terms of crime and types of criminals, yet the ongoing battle with his nemesis, Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott), is a thread that runs through the entire series.
Regular cast members include St Bart's Hospital pathologist Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey), landlady Mrs. Hudson (Una Stubbs), and Holmes's brother Mycroft, who is played by co-creator Mark Gatiss.
Produced by the BBC and Hartswood Films, the series lists Moffat, Gatiss, Sue Vertue, and Rebecca Eaton as executive producers. The series is mainly shot in Cardiff, but North Gower Street in London is utilized as a stand-in for the iconic 221B Baker Street.
The series received three awards at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for Benedict Cumberbatch, Outstanding Supporting Actor for Martin Freeman, and Outstanding Writing by Steven Moffat.
The series won the Outstanding Television Movie award in 2016 as well. Sherlock also received a Peabody Award in 2011. Season 3 was the most-viewed UK drama since 2001, and the series has been sold to 180 nations around the globe.
