Sherlock & Daughter on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – The great detective Sherlock Holmes finds himself in a most unusual state: extortion.
He is stymied, unable to investigate a recent spate of high-profile kidnappings lest he incur the wrath of a mysterious criminal syndicate who have taken hostage his dearest friends, Doctor Watson and Mrs. Hudson.
Meanwhile, a young American woman named Amelia Rojas travels across the world after a murder in her home in California, intent on meeting the famed detective with whom she claims a startling connection. When this strange young woman shows up on his Baker Street doorstep, Sherlock must determine whether she is a threat, an asset, or, somehow, family.
Set in Victorian era London, this new take on Sherlock Holmes stars David Thewlis (Harry Potter franchise, The Artful Dodger) and Blu Hunt (The New Mutants, Another Life) in the titular roles. Dougray Scott plays the detective’s nemesis James Moriarty with Paul Reid as Inspector Bullivant, Sean Duggan as Dr Watson, and Antonio Aakeel as Swan.
Episode One:
Sherlock Holmes confronts a grave dilemma when he finds himself being blackmailed by a criminal syndicate holding his closest friends, Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson, as hostages.
