But his loyal sidekick Dr. Watson seems to be just along for the ride. What about this characters? CBS Studios sought to rectify that by giving Dr. Watson his own series in 2025. Now Paramount and CBS have released Watson Season One on DVD!
Synopsis: Dr. John Watson (Morris Chestnut), a clinical geneticist and former London-based consulting detective, heads the Homes Clinic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Treating patients with strange and unidentifiable issues, he applies a specific and incisive type of deductive reasoning that he learned from his friend and partner, Sherlock Holmes, who died at the hands of arch-nemesis Moriarty. While dealing with the emotional aftermath of Sherlock's demise, Watson finds his life intertwined with Moriarty once again, as evidence suggests he is still alive.
What makes Watson so different than any other Sherlock Homes inspired production is, number 1 it is set in the modern world. And number 2 Dr. Watson is not an older white man, he is a young black man.
Medical dramas are always a lot of fun to watch especially when they focus on discovering the mysteries of illnesses. I enjoyed the TV Series House which was a take on Sherlock Holmes. And here Watson is another wonderful mystery medical drama.
Watson aired on CBS and Paramount+ and had a great 13 episode season. The writing is great and would make Conan Doyle proud. The acting is good and Morris Chestnut embodies the legendary Dr. Watson.
This series has been transferred to DVD in widescreen format. The audio track is an English 5.1 Dolby Digital. There is also the option for English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. All thirteen episode are spread across 4 DVD discs.

Whenever behind the scenes featurettes are included in a physical media release, I am all in for it! I enjoy diving into what it took to make the series.
