CBS’s “Watson,” a modern take on the Sherlock Holmes universe, returns this Sunday with an episode that digs into the titular character’s troubled past. In “The Dark Day Deduction,” Watson’s investigative skills are put to the test when the wife of an army buddy reaches out for help.
The episode centers on Watson’s friend, who seems to be experiencing a psychotic break. The situation forces Watson to confront a difficult event from his military service, a period of his life that continues to haunt him.
The details of this past trauma remain under wraps, but the episode title suggests it will be a pivotal moment for Watson. Meanwhile, Shinwell finds himself entangled in another request from Moriarty.
The series blends Watson’s medical expertise with his honed crime-solving skills. This allows him to tackle medical mysteries in ways that typical doctors just can’t. Can he apply those skills to his friend’s unusual case while also facing his own demons? Find out this Sunday, April 27th at 9:00 PM ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
