Prime Video’s Young Sherlock took audiences back to the early days of Sherlock Holmes, imagining the legendary detective not as the fully formed mastermind of Baker Street lore, but as a brilliant and reckless 19-year-old still figuring out who he is. What begins as a cheeky Oxford mystery quickly expands into a globe-trotting conspiracy involving murdered professors, espionage, and a deadly revenge plot that forces Sherlock to confront secrets buried deep within his own family.

But more than a mystery, the series was also an origin story for one of literature’s greatest foes: James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes. Played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Donal Finn, the two embodied the literary figures in their younger days before their tumble off Reichenbach Falls, when they were friends. Good friends. One might even say the best of friends.
