Sherlock & Co.

Speaking as someone who baulked at the BBC modernisation of Sherlock Holmes stories, feeling the setting was integral to the magic of the stories, I've never been so delighted to be proven wrong.

Sherlock and Co, is podcast work at its very finest, bringing the adventures of the world's greatest detective seamlessly into the modern era and while simultaneously perfectly capturing the para-social magic of podcasting.

Reviewing after greatly enjoying 30+ episodes, each new adventure is lovingly and imaginatively written for the modern day, wonderfully acted to deliver genuine drama and consistent comedic beats. John Watson shines as the central character and narrator throughout the series more so than perhaps even in the original texts. The podcast meta narrative, including shoutouts and timely asides and references, play wonderfully against the main adventures, giving the show a sense of great depth and character likely not deliverable in any other format.

The highest praise I could offer is that, you could genuinely forgive someone for thinking the lead characters were real people - Each episode continues to be a delight!

As a reasonably new Sherlock Holmes super fan I started with Robert Downey and then the old 1947 radio only show with Basil Rathbone and Bruce Nigel to the BBC's version and all in between. As far as modern day versions(and alot of the time period offerings )this is EASILY the best modern adaptation by far. I think because it's a audio medium the professional effort and actors put more in or its just written and acted so well it is effortlessly funny, exciting, action packed and pulls you in very very quickly. If you see the voice actors (one who is an actor already , perhaps 2 of them,not sure) They could easily pull off a t.v series that I think would take off as quickly and positively as the podcast did. If you haven't listened for whatever do yourself a favour and be prepared to have your socks blown off considering it's a podcast. It deserves to be on the screen.

I love this podcast. What an amazing idea to create Sherlock and dr Watson in current times! The idea of just "winging it" with a microphone which Dr. Watson wears 24/7 is such a great idea! I do find Sherlock Holms's voice a tad bit annoying but other than that, I have nothing but love for this show.

Keep up the great work! You guys help me get thru my day and make me chuckle. Now, if only I could find someone to make a zombie apocalypse podcast with the same idea (just a bloke and his mic), that would be crazy good! Lol But seriously, thank you guys for making such an amazing podcast. It is easy to tell you put A LOT of work into this and it is truly appreciated!

Hi from South Africa! I love, love, love this show. It has a great mix of serious and funny content! Watson, Mariana, and Sherlock are so realistic. Big ups to the voice actors! I hope to hear more from them in the future. I cannot wait to see where Goalhanger takes the traditional Sherlock Holmes stories.

I have been to London once and feel like I am transported back there by the excellent world-building in this show! I have already given the show 5 stars on Apple Podcasts, but since I can't support the Patreon just yet, I thought I would give it a 10 here too!

I have listened to it all the way through about 2/3 times... First listen was more focused, but now I just like having Sherlock, Watson and Mariana around while I am working. Brilliant stuff! Please keep going!

Cannot recommend Sherlock and Co enough. I am a big fan of the BBC Sherlock adaptation and I was very curious when I stumbled upon this. I came into listening to it with very low expectations but I was proven so very wrong. This is my preferred way to spend my time, listening to this podcast. It mixes comedy and drama. Each story better than the last (which it doesn't feel possible). I truly love this podcast. The take on Sherlock is very close to my heart. John is exactly how he should be in a modern world. The voice acting is perfect. The sign of four is the newest episodes and it is definitely taking a more serious approach, bjt still with humour. The way they introduce fan favourite characters (or just characters from Sherlock) is brilliant! I cannot recommend this masterpiece enough.
