Excitedly anticipating if “Sherlock” will return for a fifth season, I find solace in revisiting the captivating episodes of the first four. Since its debut in 2010, this masterpiece has become easily accessible across various home media formats. From digital platforms like Apple and Amazon, to physical DVDs for each season, fans can indulge in their love for Sherlock Holmes whenever they please.
Now,
Currently, you can stream ‘Sherlock’ for free on Hoopla, a service accessible to anyone with a library card. While ‘Sherlock’ is also offered on several subscription-based platforms like Hulu, BritBox, and PBS Masterpiece, Hoopla stands out as the preferred choice because it doesn’t require any payment to access the show. If you don’t already have a library card, obtaining one at your local library is free of charge. With a library card, you gain access to a wide selection of shows, movies, and ebooks on Hoopla.
As a die-hard Sherlock fan, I was eagerly waiting for another season, but lately, the whispers of a fifth installment seem to be fading away. Back in late June, our dear co-creator Mark Gatiss hinted that it might be time to acknowledge when a good thing should end, expressing concerns about reuniting the team after such a long hiatus. Even Sherlock himself, Benedict Cumberbatch, has suggested he wouldn’t reprise his role unless the story for Season 5 significantly surpassed its predecessors in quality.
From 2010 to 2017, the series “Sherlock” aired for four seasons. Each season had three episodes, each lasting 90 minutes. Additionally, there was a standalone special episode titled “The Abominable Bride,” which premiered in 2016. In the past, creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat have hinted at a potential revival, even talking about a feature film, but no concrete plans have been made due to the schedules of stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
Initially, the early seasons of ‘Sherlock’ were highly lauded, receiving numerous accolades for its acting and innovative adaptation of the original content to a contemporary environment. Regrettably, the fourth season received mixed reviews, with a 54% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which may be one reason fans still anticipate more episodes. This could potentially pave the way for ‘Sherlock’ to conclude on a stronger note. However, it also supports Benedict Cumberbatch’s stipulation for a comeback. It would be unfortunate if ‘Sherlock’ Season 5 fell short and tarnished the show’s esteemed reputation.
Though there might not be any upcoming episodes for the popular series Sherlock, it remains an excellent choice for viewers. The remarkable chemistry between Cumberbatch and Freeman as Holmes and Watson is captivating, and their portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tales in a modern setting is engaging. Compared to other adaptations such as the Robert Downey Jr. films, Sherlock stands out due to its strong cast and setting. Now that it’s available for streaming at no cost, there’s never been a more convenient time to rewatch or discover this beloved series.
