Miss Sherlock

Season : 1
Genre :Crime/Mystery
Language : Japanese
Network : HBO


If you are a person who reads a book or watch movies ..wait..if you are a person who is not living under a rock you will be familiar with Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.If you are not familar I am sorry ,you need to come out of that rock....Well,everyone else read on......

There are many adaptations of the characters..Famous among modern day adaptations are BBC's Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch.and Martin Freeman,Guy Ritchie  movies starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law and CBs's Elementary starring Johny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu -playing Sherlock and Dr.Watson respectivley.'Elementary' did something different by gender swapping Watson.But the new Japanese series 'Miss Sherlock' goes a little further,by gender swapping both Sherlock and Watson and the result is fantastic.



Set in Tokiyo,the series follows the adventures of Sherlock ( Yuko Takeuchi) a consultant detective and her friend Wato (Shihori Kanjiya),a doctor who returned from war prone Syria.Sherlock solves various crimes with her deduction skills and helps the local police.But there is someone in the shadows,who is watching her every move.someone who wants to destroy her.

The first sesaon got 8 episodes .There are characters based on the original novels and some new ones also.The cast has doine a brilliant job. As a Sherlock fan,I loved this new adaptation.I hope they make a second season.
If you are a fan of the genius detective and his normal friend,don't wait,watch 'Miss Sherlock' to enjoy a different take on your favorite character....
