I think everyone can agree with me when I say that being a Sherlock fan can sometimes be bittersweet. Yes, the show is addictive and the acting is amazing, but just as quickly as Sherlock Season 4 came into our lives, it gets taken away almost just as fast. With only three episodes debuting this season (as per usual), that leaves us with very little time to spend with our beloved detective. So it's only natural to immediately start to wonder when Sherlock Season 4 will be on Netflix so that you can enjoy this dynamic duo's antics over and over again.
I'm pleased to say that, unlike the torturously long wait fans are usually put through in-between seasons, the latest season of Sherlock tends to pop up on the streaming service relatively quickly by comparison. Instead of waiting years, we're probably only going to have to wait a few months before rewatching the fourth installment in its entirety. Back when Sherlock Season 3 debuted in January 2014, it only took until early June for it to appear on Netflix. So unless the series and streaming service have reached a different arrangement, I'd wager that a similiar pattern will present itself this year as well. However, it's important to note that no official release date has been confirmed as of yet.
Granted, even if it does make its way to Netflix by June, that's still a decent amount of time before the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman will grace our television screens while playing these now-iconic characters, but given how often fans are used to waiting on this show, it's not all that bad. Plus, if you're really looking for a way to help pass the time, you could always binge watch the first three seasons again. (Sounds like the perfect excuse to me!)
Odds are most of you have already been watching Season 4 since it debuts on New Year's Day, so you know the kind of heartache that's in store. And for those of you who have yet to experience it firsthand, well... good luck, I suppose. Seriously though, it's a phenomenal season even by Sherlock standards, which is really saying something. So whether you've already watched it or not doesn't really matter because you'll undoubtedly want to do it again and again. And luckily, we won't have to wait very long for that to happen.
Sherlock is a British mystery crime drama television series based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the show stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. Thirteen episodes have been produced, with four three-part series airing from 2010 to 2017. and a special episode that aired on 1 January 2016. The series is set in the present day in which it aired. The one-off special features a Victorian-period fantasy resembling the original Holmes stories.
Sherlock is produced by the British network BBC, along with Hartswood Films, with Moffat, Gatiss, Sue Vertue and Rebecca Eaton serving as executive producers. The series is supported by the American station WGBH-TV Boston for its Masterpiece anthology series on PBS, where it also airs in the United States.[2][3][4] The series is filmed primarily in Cardiff, Wales. North Gower Street in London is used for exterior shots of Holmes's and Watson's 221B Baker Street residence.
Sherlock received praise for the quality of its writing, acting, and directing. The final series had a mixed reception. It has been nominated for numerous awards including Emmys, BAFTAs and a Golden Globe, winning several awards across a variety of categories prior to its final series.
The show won in three categories at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for Cumberbatch, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for Freeman and Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special for Moffat. Two years later, it won Outstanding Television Movie. In addition, the show was also honoured with a Peabody Award in 2011.[5] The third series became the UK's most watched drama series since 2001.[6] Sherlock has been sold to 180 territories.[7]
All of the series have been released on DVD and Blu-ray, alongside tie-in editions of selected original Conan Doyle books and an original soundtrack composed by David Arnold and Michael Price. In January 2014, the show launched its official mobile app called Sherlock: The Network.[8][9]
Sherlock depicts "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) solving various mysteries in modern-day London. Holmes is assisted by his flatmate and friend, Dr John Watson (Martin Freeman), who has returned from military service in Afghanistan with the Royal Army Medical Corps. Although Metropolitan Police Service Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade (Rupert Graves) and others are suspicious of Holmes at first, over time, his exceptional intellect and bold powers of observation persuade them of his value.
In part through Watson's blog documenting their adventures, Holmes becomes a reluctant celebrity with the press reporting on his cases and eccentric personal life. Both ordinary people and the British government ask for his help.
Although the series depicts a variety of crimes and perpetrators, Holmes's conflict with his archenemy Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) is a recurring feature. Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey), a pathologist at St Bart's Hospital, occasionally assists Holmes in his cases. Other recurring roles include Una Stubbs as Mrs Hudson, Holmes and Watson's landlady, and series co-creator Mark Gatiss as Holmes's elder brother Mycroft.
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock Holmes fans with experience of adapting or using Victorian literature for television, devised the concept of the series.[10][11] Moffat had previously adapted the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for the 2007 series Jekyll,[12] while Gatiss had written the Dickensian Doctor Who episode "The Unquiet Dead".[13] Moffat and Gatiss, both Doctor Who writers, discussed plans for a Holmes adaptation during their numerous train journeys to Cardiff where Doctor Who production is based.[14] While they were in Monte Carlo for an awards ceremony, producer Sue Vertue, who is married to Moffat, encouraged Moffat and Gatiss to develop the project themselves before another creative team had the same idea.[15] Moffat and Gatiss invited Stephen Thompson to write for the series in September 2008.[16]
Gatiss has criticised recent television adaptations of the Conan Doyle stories as "too reverential and too slow", aiming instead to be as irreverent to the canon as the 1930s and 1940s films starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, which were mostly set in the then-contemporary interwar era.[10] Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock uses modern technology, such as texting, the internet and GPS to solve crimes.[10] Paul McGuigan, who directed two episodes of Sherlock, says that this is in keeping with Conan Doyle's character, pointing out that "[i]n the books he would use any device possible and he was always in the lab doing experiments. It's just a modern day version of it. He will use the tools that are available to him today in order to find things out."[17]
The writers said that Freeman's casting developed the way in which Cumberbatch played Holmes.[15] The theme of friendship appealed to both Gatiss and Moffat.[31] Gatiss asserted the importance of achieving the correct tone for the character. "Watson is not an idiot, although it's true that Conan Doyle always took the piss out of him", said Gatiss. "But only an idiot would surround himself with idiots."[10] Moffat said that Freeman is "the sort of opposite of Benedict in everything except the amount of talent... Martin finds a sort of poetry in the ordinary man. I love the fastidious realism of everything he does."[15] Freeman describes his character as a "moral compass" for Sherlock, who does not always consider the morality and ethics of his actions.[23]
Rupert Graves was cast as DI Greg Lestrade. The writers referred to the character as "Inspector Lestrade" during development until Gatiss realised that in contemporary England the character would have the title "Detective Inspector". Moffat and Gatiss pointed out that Lestrade does not appear often in the stories and is quite inconsistently portrayed in them. They decided to go with the version that appeared in "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons": a man who is frustrated by Holmes but admires him, and whom Holmes considers as the best person at Scotland Yard.[15] Several candidates took a comedic tack in their auditions, but the creative team preferred the gravitas that Graves brought to the role.[15] His first name is revealed to be Greg in "The Hounds of Baskerville".[32]
Andrew Scott made his first appearance as Jim Moriarty in "The Great Game". Moffat said, "We knew what we wanted to do with Moriarty from the very beginning. Moriarty is usually a rather dull, rather posh villain so we thought someone who was genuinely properly frightening. Someone who's an absolute psycho."[29] Moffat and Gatiss were originally not going to put a confrontation between Moriarty and Holmes into these three episodes, but after seeing Scott's audition[33] they realised that they "just had to do a confrontation scene. We had to do a version of the scene in 'The Final Problem' in which the two archenemies meet each other."[34]
The remainder of the regular cast includes Una Stubbs (who has known Cumberbatch since he was four years old, as she had worked with his mother Wanda Ventham)[35] as Mrs Hudson and co-creator Mark Gatiss as Mycroft Holmes.[36] Vinette Robinson, Jonathan Aris and Louise Brealey play the recurring roles of Sergeant Sally Donovan, Philip Anderson and Molly Hooper, respectively.
Amanda Abbington, Freeman's then-real life partner, plays Mary Morstan, Watson's girlfriend and eventual wife. In series three, Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton, Cumberbatch's actual parents, are introduced as Sherlock and Mycroft's parents.
