The NZA Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 another one i was recommended numerous times while overseas, and im glad i checked it out - this feels like what Hyde was trying to be. I'll admit i've not read much of the original Doyle books (though i did crack all the cases on Sega-CD!), but i'm told this walks the line of a modern setting while keeping in vein with much of the characters and actual cases/storylines sometimes. Holmes is no doubt quirky to a fault, but the dynamic with Watson is great - my only complaint would be the obvious way the PD exists to support him as a character, rather than do its job most times, but i wanna say the same was true of Scotland Yard in the original stuff. the casting seems great as well, and in typical BBC fashion, each of the 2 seasons has a mere 3 episodes - though they're 90 minutes, feeling more like movies so far - at least the first ep did, really looking forward to the next. It's a clever show, as you'd imagine. Anyone else caught it? it's also nice seeing him use actual deductive logic, whereas i'd always seen him use inductive and claim it the other, minorly threw me off after studying the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I just finished the first season on Netflix. Pissed as hell that seasons two and three aren't there. TO THE THIEVERY! Wonderful watch. Just be careful, man. They're coming out with a Sherlock in America this year, too. Watson is Lucy Liu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 tell me you're lying about Liu. and wiki says they're starting season 3 soon, so that's good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 They're not really episodes, more like mini-films. Scandal in Belgravia was just fucking fantastic. ...Baskerville's was a bit of a let down after seeing that, but it's a tough act to follow. Still a quality bit of broadcasting. I've seen the first five and need to get around to watching the sixth (and final) one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Not final for long! They got picked up for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 They've been playing on PBS' Masterpiece over here. You may be able to catch the episodes (including season 2) on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 season 1 finale was a mean little cliffhanger, shit hits the ground running in season 2. i was loving the first ep, right up till the finale when he magically bails her out of a decapitation..how the hell* *besides "he's fucking sherlock holmes" i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 This show is just one more reason why people in the UK are just better than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalHeart Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Watched both seasons in a matter of days. Holy shit!! I'm hooked. I need my third season, plx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I inhaled Season 1 rather than getting a decent sleep last night. This show is awesome, beautifully shot and the acting and dynamic between Holmes and Watson is fairly sensational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Now try to watch the next Hobbit movie without wondering why Watson's carrying a knife instead of a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 ^Not sure if it's just AMC cinemas or if other theater chains are participating, but there is a theatrical release for two days of this episode on January 5 & 6 if that holds an appeal for anyone.

alive she cried Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I loved it. I can see why some people might have had issues with it, but for me it was perfectly Sherlock in how it unfolded. Cannot wait for next season, but unfortunately we're going to have to. Next season isn't coming til' 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Wasn't for me. Did get a giggle out of feminism being explained to a bunch of women though. Generally not a fan of the way things like that are done, though. Felt a bit inception-y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
