“Watson” takes place six months after the death of the titular character’s friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty.
The show stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, who resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson‘s old life isn’t done with him, though – Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century.
“Watson” is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history’s greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.
“Watson” also stars Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Ritchie Coster, Inga Schlingmann and Rochelle Aytes.
UB spoke to Morris Chestnut in 2013 in support of “The Best Man Holiday,” and we asked him why it’s important for audiences to see African American men, who are powerful as well as vulnerable on the screen? “I think it’s very important, especially because of the stereotypes of a lot black men being in jail or who don’t take care of their kids. It’s just not even particularly to black men, but just positive black images on screen.”
