Sherlock brought the famous detective into the modern world, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s version changed the original character in some big ways. Cumberbatch first donned the famous deerstalker hat and became Sherlock Holmes in 2010 when Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss created the BBC show, Sherlock. Sherlock spanned four seasons, containing few but lengthy episodes, and retold some of Sherlock Holmes’s most famous stories. Sherlock also featured classic characters such as John Watson, Mycroft Holmes, Irene Adler, and Jim Moriarty, although many new ones were added.
