  • Perfection

  • Leave UK shows in UK!

    As AhmedMaisra mentioned about Elementary it was disgraceful to the Sherlock name!

    Sherlock should always be paired with a male Watson! (it's made worse that there is a now love interest between them)



    Sherlock like many others have said is a perfect repatriation of Holmes!

    For one reason.... it was made in UK



    Also has anyone noticed that Canadian kid's programs are so much better then american?

  • Awesomely cleaver

    A Brilliant well written show with highly believable characters. This is the Sherlock Holmes that I read about when I was a kid. Awesomewell done and can't wait for the new season. My only complaint is why BBC has such a short season. I understand that each episode is like a movie, but I think the writers could pull off more than a few episodes a year. Right?
  • Nailed it !!

    To my surprise they absolutely nailed it. Cumberbatch is a fantastic choice for Sherlock Holmes-he is physically right (he fits the traditional reading of the character) and he is a damn good actor. Martin Freeman, about whom I wasn't sure at first, is an excellent foil for Holmes without being the dumb sidekick that Dr Watson has often been. I thought that this series would not work, particularly after Robert Downey's interesting take on Conan Doyle's characterisation. I have been proved so wrong-it moved along at a good pace and held the attention brilliantly. My wife started by saying she didn't like it but by the end of the episode she was as enthralled as I. We are both looking forward to the rest of the series, if it is as entertaining as the first story. I was disappointed to read some reviews here that did not love it. Methinks they are too jaded to enjoy anything.

  • I Am SHERlocked !

    with delight. A brilliantly written, well acted programme. Well done to all concerned. The story had me hooked from the the elements of Holmes are present and correct. So far most of the original characters have appeared, with hints of more yet to appear. It is suspenseful and sometimes genuinely funny. I have read all the original stories, and after the late, great Jeremy Brett, despaired of ever seeing another top notch Holmes film. This is it, Brought up to date into the 21st century, but done with affection and respect to the original. Nice to see the writers have continued the theme of an intelligent (slightly bemused) Watson. CAN WE HAVE A FULL SERIES PLEASE. If not this is one I will return to again and again.
