{en} Sherlock Holmes [1] (TV series; UK, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016-17), created by Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat, starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman (Dr. Watson) <TV series; 4 seasons; 13 episodes>

The quirky spin on Conan Doyle's iconic sleuth pitches him as a "high-functioning sociopath" in modern-day London. Assisting him in his investigations: Afghanistan War vet John Watson, who's introduced to Holmes by a mutual acquaintance.

In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early-21st-century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan war, less adoring and more active.
