A month after it was officially canceled, Paramount+ has added the series finale episode of CBS‘s medical mystery drama to its library. Starring Boyz n the Hood vet Morris Chestnut, the final installment of Watson has officially ended its run with the premiere of Season 2’s twentieth and final episode, which is now available to stream on Paramount+.
Watson was a modern spin-off of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes story. The show began six months after the death of Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty. Chestnut played Dr. John Watson, who opened a clinic in Pittsburgh, where he uses his experience working with Sherlock to help patients with strange medical issues.
