Morris Chestnut’s CBS Drama Doesn’t Need Sherlock

Morris Chestnut’s CBS Drama Doesn’t Need Sherlock

The legacy of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson continues to captivate audiences in various forms of media, including television. With recent adaptations like the BBC’s “Sherlock” and CBS’ “Elementary,” the dynamic duo has been reimagined in modern settings. Now, a new series titled “Watson,” created by Craig Sweeny, takes a fresh approach to the character of Dr. Watson, portrayed by the talented Morris Chestnut.

Set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, “Watson” follows Dr. John Watson six months after the tragic death of his best friend, Sherlock Holmes, at the hands of the nefarious Professor James Moriarty. Upon awakening from a coma with a traumatic brain injury, Watson fulfills Holmes’ final wishes by opening the Holmes Clinic at the city’s largest hospital. Alongside a team of young doctors, Watson delves into unique and challenging medical cases, utilizing his keen detective skills to uncover the truth.

The Holmes Clinic team includes the stoic Dr. Stephens Croft, his outgoing twin brother Dr. Adam Croft, the sweet but troubled Dr. Sasha Lubbock, and the enigmatic Dr. Ingrid Derian, who may harbor dark secrets of her own. As Watson navigates his new role and complex relationships within the clinic, he also grapples with his estranged wife, Dr. Mary Morstan, who serves as the hospital director.

Despite its promising premise, “Watson” struggles with its forced connections to the Sherlock Holmes mythology. The pilot episode feels disjointed as it attempts to merge the worlds of Holmes and Watson with the medical drama setting in Pittsburgh. The series would have benefited from establishing its own identity without relying heavily on Holmes’ legacy.

However, “Watson” shines in its exploration of medical mysteries and ethical dilemmas within the healthcare system. Episodes delve into complex medical conditions and the challenges faced by both patients and doctors, shedding light on important issues such as access to treatment and genetic testing.

With Morris Chestnut’s charismatic performance leading the way, “Watson” gradually finds its footing amidst the turbulence of its early episodes. While the series may struggle to find its audience in a saturated market of procedural dramas, its unique approach to medical storytelling sets it apart.

Fans can tune in to the premiere of “Watson” on CBS on January 26, with new episodes airing weekly on Sundays. As the series unfolds, viewers can expect a blend of medical drama, detective work, and compelling character dynamics that make “Watson” a standout addition to the television landscape.
