Sherlock

[cinema guy]

Is anyone watching this? Is it on in the US?

I'm really enjoying it. Benedict Cumberpatch and Martin Freeman are great as Homes and Watson. Sherlock's slight strangeness was well-played and amusing. I wasn't wholly convinced by the mystery in the first episode, but the second was great - it felt like a real Conan Doyle-style mystery.

At 90 minutes the episodes don't feel rushed (like Doctor Who does sometimes). But only 3 episodes! I want more.

I meant to set the skybox to record it!

Both my hubs & I are excited about the new Sherlock show (me more than him, but we're definitely Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans).

It won't be coming to America until December of this year, I think (and then it'll be on BBC America).

My friend Shroomie (in the Philippines) went NUTS over it. She adores it.

I've been downloading it, since I'm in the US. SO getting the DVD when it comes out later this year.

Was skeptical at first, given numerous lousy attempts at modernizing Holmes in the past, but this show is fan-freaking-tastic! I can even forgive the unforgivable lack of moustache on Watson (Martin Freeman has a nice face...).

Also, I may have to get a long trench coat...

The Blind Banker wasn't as good as Study in Pink, but still very good. Pink was a hard act to follow.

Bummed there's only 3 eps this series, and hoping for another one. Then I consider that each ep is 90 minutes, so it's more like a miniseries or trilogy of made for TV movies or something.

...

No, that doesn't make it any better.

It'll be on PBS. ^^

Yay! PBS will be even better!

Well, just finished the finale. Here's my reaction:

YOU BASTARDS! YOU BRILLIANT SEXY DR. WHO WRITING SONS OF BITCHES!

*sigh* There had better be another season, that's all I can say.

You don't really enjoy the full experience of the last episode unless you have someone shouting in your ear 'You sons of bitches!' over the ending.

I do have to agree, seriously? You're leaving it at a cliffhanger when I have no idea when the next episodes will be? You sick bastards.

Well, it had 7.3 mil viewers or something. Up from last week.

Still, probably won't be another for at least a year. ><
