The show centers on Dr. John Watson as he returns to practicing medicine following Sherlock Holmes’s demise at the hands of Moriarty.
Shifting the focus from Sherlock to Watson in a medical setting is a fresh and intriguing take. It allows for exploration of Watson’s medical expertise and keen observation skills, often overshadowed by Holmes’s deductions. The grieving process after losing Sherlock could add a layer of raw vulnerability, leading to complex character development.
Dailyalert’s Take
I’m a huge Morris Chestnut fan, and I believe his presence and Gravity make him the perfect choice for Dr. Watson. He wouldn’t just bring star power to the project, but also open doors for a more diverse cast and crew. The series itself promises a unique blend of genres, weaving medical cases with elements of mystery and deduction in a way that’s sure to captivate fans of both medical dramas and detective shows.
