New Sherlock

[bex77]

We've been watching the new BBC series, "Sherlock." It is all kinds of great. It will show up on PBS "Masterpiece" eventually, but if you can see it earlier, do it. There are three episodes, each 90-minutes worth of wonderful.

Script by Doctor Who writers-Gattis and Moffat...modern London, snarky text messages, amazing actors...music...and they let Sherlock be sexy! Woot!

They manage to take the essential bits of the original stories and weave them into a contemporary script. You can see what happens when a couple of Holmes fanboys ride the train from London to Cardiff and back to make "Doctor Who" and get to musing about a new series. Heh.

Cool, I just heard about this recently and have been meaning to check it out. Might have to magically get it on my iPhone to watch on my way to Atlantic City for my family vacation!

E and I watched the first ep last night, and enjoyed everything except the mystery part, which was given away (to the audience) in the first minute. Plots that depend on characters being dumb are always frustrating, but when the character in question is Sherlock Holmes, my suspension of disbelief breaks down. Hopefully the rest of the series doesn't follow this pattern.
