Sherlock

Not the Robert Downey Jr. movies.

I want to talk about the BBC series. It is awesome. I admit I was a bit leery of how well a modern retelling of the original stories would do, but this has far exceeded my expectations and then some. Benedict Cumberbatch is perfect as Sherlock Holmes.

So has anyone else seen this? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. So good.

And I see other people have linked trailers and things elsewhere, so I am going to post the scene of Watson meeting Sherlock for the first time. Because I can. And because it sets a pretty good tone for the show.

Watson meets Sherlock Holmes

I absolutely love this show. The way Moffat has updated victorian characters and stories into the contemporary era has been a revelation, especially Irene Adler and The Hound of the Baskervilles. Favourite episode so far has been A Scandal in Bohemia by far.

It also helps that Cumberbatch and Freeman have great chemistry as Sherlock and Watson.

Oh, definitely. If they didn't have such great chemistry the show just wouldn't work the way it does.

I don't know if I really have a favorite episode because they're all just so fantastic. If I went solely by how many times I've viewed each one it would be A Study in Pink, but that's mainly because I'm making everyone I know watch it with me lol.
