Watson has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium. 2 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. With 65 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Morris Chestnut sets the tone, and the ensemble matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Paramount Plus.

Watson is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The plotting in Watson is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. A year after the death of his friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. However, he soon finds that his old life is not done with him yet. Morris Chestnut and Eve Harlow lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. Across 2 seasons (2025–2026), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What makes Watson hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Watson delivers. If you have already watched Sherlock & Daughter, Watson is a natural next step. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Morris Chestnut anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.

Watson was cancelled in 2026, created by Craig Sweeny — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
