I don't think I've ever seen a show get so far up its own arse quite as quickly as Sherlock - or when the writers clearly forgot they weren't writing Doctor Who. Also, yeah Brett is loving amazing! His performance is so cat-like - that twinkle in his eye when he's interested - and that sheer, coiled, energy he has throwing himself into things. It's so great  Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Sep 9, 2019 |

Sherlock is real good and hbomberguy's video about it is uncharacteristically naff, logicking himself into having to argue that the racist one from the first season that no-one liked was actually the best.

There's some pretty good acting in the series - it's just the writing loving blows most of the time. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Sep 9, 2019 |

Sherlock had some excellent production values and was genuinely inventive with a lot of its camerawork and postproduction stuff (specifically, how it dealt with texts and the internet set kind of a trend that is still being developed to this day, but I don't really think has been improved on, and some of the sequences in the 'kill someone/anyone' episode were incredibly cleverly done with the set and backdrop changes) but was utter dreck from a story perspective. I'm slightly embarassed that I stuck with it as long as I did, especially given how genuinely bad season 4 was.

The first two Sherlock seasons had entertaining (if loving stupid) finales and the pilot was a good introduction. Otherwise awful.

They did a series in 2013, around Sherlock mania, but it was in original time Victorian era. It's a good take on the duo, old wise Watson, young scamp Holmes. Pity the eng subs are blocked on Youtube, would link them here.

Jeremy Brett studied Sherlock Holmes in great detail and practically made it his life's work. I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan since I was a child and used to read the books avidly even as an 8/9 year old - and he personified Holmes to me. I haven't got on with the Cumberpatch Holmes at all. I also liked Peter Cushing as Holmes in the old Hound of the Baskervilles. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Sep 9, 2019 |

Basically the BBC Sherlock was the only one of the recent adaptations that went completely up its own rear end. I saw the first episode of that on a plane. It’s an HBO co-production, and clearly has the money thrown at it. It’s heavily influenced by the BBC Moffat Sherlock, but has enough of its own spin that it carries it off well enough. I’d watch more, honestly.

The bit where Cumberbatch goes to his mind palace and projects designer brand logos out of his skull. When I saw that, I thought it had been altered to be as cringe-inducing as possible, but no, that was the original show.
