    Yet another garbage Sherlock Holmes "based" show peeing all over the
    original with stupid, ill-fitting nonsense by the talentless lazy
    generation. :-(



    New Sherlock Holmes TV Show in the Works With a Major Twist
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    A new Sherlock Holmes TV show is in development, but fans of the
    character may be surprised to learn what it's actually about.
    Rather than focusing on the titular detective, the show will
    instead center on his archenemy: Professor James Moriarty.

    With the character having originally been created by British
    author Arthur Conan Doyle, there have been countless TV shows
    and movies about Sherlock Holmes. Some of the more notable
    21st-century include Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal in the Guy
    Ritchie films, Benedict Cumberbatch's performance in the Sherlock
    BBC show, the contemporary CBS series Elementary starring Jonny
    Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, and more.

    What else do we know about the new Sherlock Holmes TV Show?
    Per Variety, Archery Pictures and Fremantle are now developing a
    TV show about the criminal mastermind James Moriarty. No casting
    information is available at this time.

    The logline for the show, which is tentatively titled Moriarty,
    reads, "When a rival criminal begins an assault on his underground
    empire, Moriarty will have only one choice: to join the police as
    a consultant, using the law as a weapon to dismantle his foe while
    keeping his true identity hidden from the police. Paired with
    Detective Imogen Burrows, a stoic Yorkshire detective, they'll
    form a fearsome team, but Moriarty will soon realise that the real
    threat isn't the rival criminal faction he's dismantling, but
    Imogen's increasingly perceptive suspicions..."

    Chris Cornwell and Oliver Lansley are writing the show, with
    Archery Pictures and Fremantle both co-producing.

    "We are thrilled to be working with Fremantle to bring to life the
    original and character-driven spin-off from the Sherlock Holmes
    universe that Chris Cornwell has created," Archery Pictures founder
    Kris Thykier said in a statement. "Moriarty will show audiences
    what it takes to be a criminal genius, combining genre thrills with
    a playful, dark, and thrilling dive into the psychology of
    villainy."

    Verily, in article <10vab5f$3nvb4$1@dont-email.me>, did
    YourName@YourISP.com deliver unto us this message:
    The logline for the show, which is tentatively titled Moriarty,

    I was reading along and thinking okay, maybe... okay, maybe....

    reads, "When a rival criminal begins an assault on his underground
    empire, Moriarty will have only one choice: to join the police as
    a consultant, using the law as a weapon to dismantle his foe while
    keeping his true identity hidden from the police.


    I would give this a try. It could respect the original canon, or it
    could be self-awarely absurd. Right out of the gate, it's hard to
    believe that Moriarty would do this personally instead of assigning a
    trusted henchman -- while he's doing this, who's running his empire?

    What's the twist, that it's a faithful adaptation?
