(Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, “Hey, where can I watch this thing?”) In order for a movie series or show to eventually become a victim of their own hype, they first need to steadily build up and justify that hype in the first place. That concept sounds simple enough, but rarely has that proven to be more true than with the BBC series “Sherlock.” Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, “Sherlock” first premiered in 2010 and served as a launching pad for both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman into mainstream popularity. Though only consisting of three total episodes during each season, the extended runtime of an hour and half helped make each story feel like a meaningful, feature-length chapter in an ongoing story that would only become more and more of a pop culture sensation with each passing year.

Ultimately, many would agree that the series sort of went off the rails by the end, never quite managing to achieve the same level of consistency after the emotional high point of Sherlock Holmes faking his own death to save his friends in the Season 2 finale, “The Final Problem.” Otherwise, however, the series has been lauded for successfully reinterpreting the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle literary character into a modern London setting, along with his loyal friend Dr. Watson. Throughout its run, “Sherlock” was nominated for (and subsequently won) several prestigious awards, spanning the Emmys, BAFTAs, and even the Golden Globe Awards. Unfortunately, the cleverly-written detective series currently isn’t streaming “for free” on any major subscription service, though one gets the impression that it would play like gangbusters for any platform that scooped up those rights. Instead, we have provided a quick and handy guide for how you can purchase each season of the largely well-received BBC series, which may or may not have another season in the cards at some point in the future.
