We don't meet Sherlock until mid-way through the series, and Henry Lloyd-Hughes - who plays the character - recently opened up about how he is portrayed in a different light.
He told Sky News' Backstage podcast: "I think weirdly there's something much more 2020 and 2021 about arriving in a world where we're not even sure if he exists - what he is and what is a myth, what is real.
"When we encounter him eventually in the show, he's very much a deconstructed, fallen version of the man, the myth, the legend. So maybe he feels a bit like we all feel right now."
"What becomes clear is that more than, I think, other versions, this character is self-aware of the extent to which he has created his own myth and is dealing with the bruising repercussions of that. I think that's an interesting place to meet such a legendary, well-known literary figure."
