CBS’s “Watson” takes a fascinating turn this Sunday, blending more medical mystery with good old-fashioned detective work. In “The Man with the Alien Hand,” Dr. John Watson finds himself in a rather unusual predicament. One of his patients, suffering from the bizarre alien hand syndrome, is accused of pushing his brother in front of a bus. But is he truly guilty, or is his uncontrollable hand to blame?
Watson, who has dedicated his post-Sherlock life to running a clinic specializing in rare disorders, now must play detective. He’ll need to unravel the truth behind the accusation, determining whether his patient is a killer or simply a victim of his own unusual ailment. The presence of Rachel Hayward, guest-starring as Detective Lestrade, hints at a more traditional investigative angle.
Written by Theo Travers and directed by Sheelin Choksey, “The Man with the Alien Hand” offers a fresh take on the “Watson” formula. It’s a case that forces Watson to confront not only the mysteries of the human body but also the complexities of human behavior. Tune in to CBS this Sunday at 9:00 PM ET to see if Watson can crack the case.
