The Young Sherlock series has been praised for its storytelling and characters. Actor Max Irons, who plays Mycroft Holmes, highlights the importance of his character in the Sherlock universe.
Max Irons shares that Mycroft is a useful counterbalance to Sherlock, who is anarchic and unstructured. Mycroft, on the other hand, is a believer in being an agent for change within the system.
Max Irons also talks about his chemistry with co-star Hero Fiennes Tiffin, saying that it came naturally from day one. He credits Hero's kind and compassionate nature for making the audition and shoot a pleasant experience.
Max Irons also expresses his admiration for co-star Colin Firth, calling him one of the funniest and silliest men he's ever worked with. Colin Firth's quirky habit of playing ping pong in hotel corridors at 3am has been revealed by Max Irons.
Max Irons also talks about the pressure of comparisons with previous portrayals of Mycroft, but credits director Guy Ritchie for creating a liberating and freeing environment on set.
