I've always been a big Sherlock Holmes fan, and Sherlock does not disappoint.
This Holmes energy reminds me of the Basil Rathbone version- high energy when the game is afoot, rapid fire dialog, as opposed to this Dr. Watson. And Watson is not the bumbling fool as portrayed by Nigel Bruce.
This a a rare experience- a series re-imagined in a contemporary setting that gives us all the cues of previous Holmes iterations, yet doesn't feel out of place.
There are aspects of the Holmes legend done quite differently as one would expect, but all are well done.
Even if one is not a fan, there is still much to enjoy in this version. It's a three part series, with an additional pilot that didn't air.
This is an outstanding series, and the second one should are in the UK in a few months.
I can't wait!
