What Sherlock Is All About?
For the uninitiated, Sherlock is a detective series and it shows Sherlock Holmes as a consulting detective, solving mysteries in modern-day London. He is assisted by his flatmate, Dr John Watson. The police service detective, Inspector Greg Lestrade(played by Rupert Graves) is initially very suspicious of Holmes but overtime his intellect and observational powers make him believe in Sherlock. Watson writes a blog about all their adventures and because of this Holmes becomes a reluctant celebrity. Both ordinary people and the British Government come to him for help.
A recurring feature of the series is Holmes’ conflict with archenemy Jim Moriarty(played by Andrew Scott). Another recurring character in Sherlock is Molly Hopper(played by Louise Brealey), a pathologist at St.Bart’s Hospital who assists Holmes in his cases occasionally.
