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 so much!! I enjoy the voice acting and the flow of the characters it's just all so great!! I'm not usually a podcast person but this really feels immersive in a way I can't describe!
It's also an interesting take on Sherlock Holmes, not only for the podcast format, but the characters and cases are very interesting and are very believable! The witty banter from Watson and Sherlock just makes the podcast light up!
Sherlock Holmes being canonically autistic for this podcast is a delight! As an autistic person myself it's nice to get something genuine in some form!
Overall this adaptation is great, give it a shot!

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!

I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, but I only started to listen to this at the start of 2025. When I started to listen to this, I instantly loved it. The only thing I dislike about this podcast is that they abuse Jesus' name too much. If the actors read this, please refrain from using such blasphemies. My favourite adventure is The Sign of Four, The Three Students, and The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax. When I first started to listen to this podcast, I didn't expect to hear so much swearing, but I honestly enjoy it, and the action and hilarious jokes and humour make it so much better to listen to. Honestly the best podcast I've ever listened to. 11/10 if I could.
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!
