His gruff and no-frills performance as The Witcher‘s Geralt of Rivia has always proven hugely popular with the online masses, while millions of people also watched him build a PC from scratch. Cavill’s newest role, meanwhile, sees him become the latest in a long line of actors to play Sherlock Holmes, and his portrayal of the iconic detective was generating plenty of enthusiasm from almost the first second the trailer for Enola Holmes was released online.

Now that the film is available to stream on Netflix, and based on the early numbers, a large portion of subscribers have already done so after it rocketed to the top of the most-watched list, Cavill’s Sherlock has been named as a highlight of the movie. In fact, the internet seems to be obsessed with his performance and you can check out just some of the reactions below.

And with his return as the DCEU’s Superman confirmed, The Witcher currently back in front of cameras and Enola Holmes poised to launch a franchise, the actor’s stock has never been higher than it is right now.
