Morris Chestnut Keeps CBS’ Unsteady Sherlock Holmes Medical Mystery ‘Watson’ Afloat: TV Review
In CBS' new medical mystery drama, Morris Chestnut leads a team of capable doctors who don't need to be stuck in Sherlock Holmes' mythology.
Since Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes first appeared in print in the 19th century, the forensic detective and his comrade, Dr. John H. Watson, have been enduring figures in global literature and other media, including television. Joining the Crofts is Dr. Sasha Lubbock (Inga Schlingmann), a rheumatology and immunologist specialist whose sweet Southern demeanor (thick Texas drawl included) keeps her locked in an unfulfilling romance. In the pilot alone, Chestnut awkwardly uses the word “Eureka!” and suddenly Watson’s driver, Shinwell Johnson (Ritchie Coster), whose ties to Scotland Yard are constantly mentioned (though this is Pittsburgh), transforms into his fixer and closest confidante.
