      Benedict Cumberbatch Lines Up Two TV Projects To Produce & Star

      British thespian and otter doppelgänger Benedict Cumberbatch will executive produce and star in an adaptation of The Patrick Melrose Novels, a five-book series of semi-autobiographical tales about author Edward St. Aubyn’s traumatic childhood, heroin abuse and recovery as an adult. Melrose, the five-part limited series, will air on Showtime with Far From The Madding Crowd writer David Nicholls adapting and directing. In 2013, Cumberbatch did a Reddit AMA in which he was asked, “if you could choose to be any other literary character in an upcoming role who would it be and why?” He responded, “Patrick Melrose” but never answered the why, leaving Reddit user dayofthedead204 to twist in the wind.

      ‘Sherlock’ Creator & Star Fires Back at Critic In Rhyme

      Sherlock Season Four premiered on New Year’s Day and despite prime Cumberbatch, the first episode was met with middling reviews, especially when you compare it to the nearly untouchable, previous three seasons. British newspaper The Guardian panned the show for “starting to feel worryingly like we are watching villains be taken to task by a mutation named Sherlock Bond.” Critic Ralph Jones lambastes the writers for sacrificing the “brainy” aspects of Holmes in favor of more and more action.

      'Houdini & Doyle': No Magic In These Mysteries

      Magician and escape-artist Harry Houdini and Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle did, apparently, know each other in real life, but it seems unlikely that they solved mysteries together for however long the new Houdini and Doyle manages to stay on the air. The new hour, premiering Monday on Fox, positions Houdini (Michael Weston) as the smart-alecky American skeptic, and Doyle (Episodes’ Stephen Mangan) as a gullible believer in the supernatural: They’re opposites attracting, paired up to investigate crimes that stump the police. To demonstrate this, the duo is assigned a British police officer (Rebecca Liddiard) to keep them in line—because you just know the Brits were hiring a lot of young women in key capacities at the turn of the 20th century.
