Starring Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, the series reimagines one of literature’s most iconic thinkers as a physician who uses investigative brilliance to diagnose the world’s rarest and most confounding diseases.
After defeating Moriarty last season, Watson and his team of “doc-tectives” remain committed to helping the patients who fall through the cracks. But Season 2 introduces a seismic twist: Sherlock Holmes—long presumed dead—resurfaces , forcing Watson to confront a deeply buried secret hidden within his own body.
