Watson and Shakespeare Take on the Present in Chris Miskiewicz and Christopher Piazza's New Comedy Series

Nikolai Fomich writes;

"Dr. John Watson! Bard William Shakespeare! Lost in time – fighting crime!" Those rousing words open Chris Miskiewicz and Christopher Piazza's action-comedy series The Adventures of Shakespeare and Watson: Detectives of Mystery.  While on the trail of the malicious mastermind Moriarty, Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes travelled back in time to Shakespeare's era, only to be separated by a time storm. Now, trapped in our present, Shakespeare and Watson open up a detective agency, becoming the premiere detectives in all of North Brooklyn, utilizing the extraordinary tools of the present like Google in their search for a way home.

But the 21st century proves to be an era filled with temptation and vice, as crack, autoerotic asphyxiation, and David Bowie all vie for the attention of our displaced heroes. Will the Immortal Bard prove all too mortal after all as he tests his limits with modern narcotics, succumbing to euphoric highs? Will Sherlock Holmes' faithful sidekick finally find the sexual liberation he always secretly sought, and retire the magnifying glass for the promise of a lifetime of glitter parties?

If it means David Bowie-Dr. Watson action, I'm kind of hoping for the latter.
