Loved it and looking forward to more. I was skeptical about Freeman in a serious role but he nailed it; can’t wait to see him as Bilbo Baggins.

Incredible!! I just watched the first ep (thanks for the link!) and if it wasn’t near midnight I’d watch the next two.:) Fun, intelligent and just well cool!

Thanks for sharing the PBS information and link! I’m not very up on their schedules. But yes, I agree that it’s very cruel to put out just a little great TV and then make us wait for more.

I saw a chunk of what I think was the second episode last week at 4:00 AM (don’t ask what I was doing up at that time) and was really impressed. I liked the characterization of Holmes as an Aspergers-like social recluse, and of Watson as more than just a hanger-on and stenographer.

The show’s already avaiable on Netflix for those who missed the broadcast. I’ll be watching the rest once the disks get to me.

If you haven’t seen it, there is still time to watch some of the episodes on line:

Although this series was created by the BBC, you don’t mention PBS is running them as a part of Masterpiece Mystery! this season.

I like that both Holmes and Watson read much younger in their personalities, more prone to quibbling in their irritation than their overly polite Victorian predecessors. They both display a social roughness which seems to make them more accessible, despite retaining much of their original quirkiness. I also like that sexuality is openly discussed, and yet Sherlock remains aloof and ambiguous.

I agree this is a fun and admirable adaptation. It gives you something to look forward to next year.

It is superb television, honestly some of the best I’ve seen in years (and considering how much I loved season 2 of Fringe, that’s saying something). The only maddening thing is having to wait until next fall for three more episodes. The British are deeply cruel.

Wow thanks, as I had never even heard of this. Sounds very intriguing, I’m a big Holmes fan, so I’ll have to look for this.
