Seal resting is a fairly typical leisure activity during the New Year holidays. As much as we plan to have fun until dawn with our friends and family, we have to admit that after December deadlines, we just want to lie down in the shape of a starfish and look at the blinking garlands.
But if you rest, then it will be beneficial. Make yourself homemade tea from aromatic herbs and gingerbread and feel free to choose the series you like from our selection. Check out the best new TV series of January 2025.
If you still can’t sit still, go to the movies with a group of people. Last time we talked about the best movies of January.
“Sherlock and his Daughter”
Release date: January 1
We’ve seen tons of film adaptations about Sherlock Holmes, including modern versions, but the declining demand for detective stories is forcing screenwriters to write fan fiction. That’s why we’ll soon have a made-up TV series called “Sherlock and His Daughter.” The legendary detective’s personal life is full of dark spots, so why shouldn’t his daughter come forward? A flamboyant girl named Amelia Rojas is a descendant of a brutally murdered Native American woman and, as she believes, Sherlock Holmes. It is he who will help his father catch Moriarty.
The detective himself will be played by David Thewlis, and his daughter’s role will be played by Blu Hunt.
