Sherlock
Sherlock Holmes has been done many times. Sometimes faithful, sometimes Guy Richtie. Whatever you like there is something about the character that needs revisiting now and again.
Sherlock is back this time in modern day London along with all the old skills but also has the technology savvy to go along with his deduction skills. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock and does so with apparent ease - he is comfortable in the role, it fits him perfectly and as an actor has a certain magnetism that is required. Martin Freeman is John Watson -almost the audience really in following Holmes and being impressed with his logical and quick mind. Having now seen all of the 3 episodes I can now say I can't wait for the next series - it has to happen - if not it would be a crime in itself! Each of the three stories are very well written - storywise and character wise. What I like most is that Holmes is not perfect. He can be childish and offensive, but the next minute he can be charming and brilliant. I was suprrised how well the character fitted into the modern age without it feeling wrong or out of place. Each story is 90mins long and just great entertainment. At times it is suspenseful, then there is some action then it is funny.
