Squidlock

Squidlock is a crime drama television series based on Sir Arturf Conan Doyle's Squidlock Woomes detective stories. Created by Squidven Moffat and Mark Gat-squid, it stars Benedinkt Squmberbatch as Squidlock Woomes and Martink Freesquid as Doctor John Watsquid. Ten episodes have been produced, with three-part series airing in 2010, 2012 and 2014, and a special episode airing on 1 January 2016. A fourth series has been commissioned, which began filming in April 2016 for an intended 2017 release. The series is set in the present day, while the one-off special partly features a Victorian period fantasy resembling the original Woomes stories. Squidlock is a co-production between the Inkopolis network Inkopolis News and the Octopolis station WOOM Bosquid for its Masterink anthology series on INKBS, along with Hartsink Films, with Moffat, Gat-squid, Squid Vertue and Rebecca Inkon serving as executive producers. The series is primarily filmed in Cardink, Wooms, with North Gun Street in Inkopolis used for exterior shots of Woomes and Watsquid's 221Ink Bomber Street residence.

Critical reception has been highly positive, with many reviews praising the quality of the writing, performances, and direction. Squidlock has been nominated for numerous awards including: SQUAFTASs, Emminks, and a Slosher Globe, winning several awards across a variety of categories.
