I really enjoyed it, but the ending annoyed me - I couldn't believe it took Holmes so long to work out that

Spoiler

it was the cabbie. In fact, I thought he had worked it out during the chase scene, it wasn't until later that I realised he'd been chasing the passenger, not the cab itself.

Other than that, very good, and definitely worth a watch. Cumberbatch (Holmes) and Freeman (Watson) were excellent, and there's some intriguing threads laid down for later installments.

Will find a torrent after work. Sounds promising.

 

This.

Let me know if you find a torrent or something. Man, I hate my country...

 

USA ftl...>.>

 

Watched this, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Moved since its a TV show and not a book. >_>

Also torrenting it now. Looking forward to it

 

I only found episode 1...did you find any more than that? :cry:

 

It only started on Sunday, so only one episode (although I suppose it's possible future episodes have been leaked).

 

Just watched this myself, I thought it was very well done. Much better than the film in some ways and closer to the original, despite the modernisation of it.

Especially Watson. Watson is very good in this.

 

If Holmes was around today, that's what he'd be labeled. There aren't really words for what he actually is, but the fastest way to put it for the typical layman is 'high-functioning sociopath'.

Psych and Mentalist are respectively comedy and drama versions of the same idea - someone working for the cops with a background in being a phony psychic who is very good at reading people. Sherlock Holmes is, instead, incredibly good at reading the situation.

 

Watched the first episode and I have to say that I liked it a lot. The modern adaptation worked and I liked the usage of the internet and modern technology. Especially Holmes trolling the press conference at the beginning was amusing.

Can only advise people to watch it.

My only gripe is that as a non native english speaker, I am much more accustomed to listen to American English, so when Holmes, with his accent, started explaining things pretty fast while lowering his voice I had a hard time catching all of it and had to re-watch the scenes to get it all but I guess this is just because of my inexperience with listening to british speakers.

 

As a massive fan of the books, I was a little apprehensive about this series. But I've got to say, they captured a really good essence of the original Holmes, and modernised it in a fantastic fashion. The nicotine patches instead of his iconic pipe ("because smoking in London is far too difficult now"), usefully hiding away the marks of his morphine addiction, were a fantastic addition. I am looking forward to the next episode being aired tonight.

 

I'm in love with this show. The man that plays Holmes is really strange looking, but that adds to the character.

Can't wait for the next episode.

 

You know what? This was pretty great.

 

Just watched the first one and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, I think I'll watch the second now if I can.

 

Kate Beaton is always related. Looks like this'll be Classic Watson with a dash of mistaken-for-Gay Watson.
