Sorry to be pedantic but I don't know any software designers that wear a tie habitually. I wonder if wearing a scarf indoors is supposed to improve his powers of reasoning or just to make him look a bit of a berk.
I had a real crush on Sherlock Holmes when I first picked up Arthur C Doyle's book in Primary School (yes, I was that young). Why does Mr. Cumberbatch have to be so fetchingly attractive? Isn't it enough that he's playing one of the most tantalising characters ever invented?
Finally got a chance to see the first episode last night, and I thought it was fantastic! Can't wait to see the other two, and then hopefully Season 2 later this year.
we havent seen a good looking sherlock but u my frend ar bloody grate and gorgas and i am happy to say i wood gladly be come mis cumberbatch so plz let me know lol
Thank you so much for this link! I grew up on classic Dr Who and old Sherlock....this modern day adaptation is the best update of a classic character I think I've ever seen...Way To Go!
@rubyrubyrub just one single detail, Poirot is from Belgium, like you... even thou the author is British, her character is not. About Sherlock he's classic
Was it even aired on BBC America? I saw it on masterpiece mystery and they cut some of the best dialogue out. I now own it on DVD, and it's worth getting on DVD.
FYI - The Masterpiece Mystery airing is cut for time...there are small nicks from scenes here and there. It's still worth watching, but if you've seen it on BBC America or on DVD, you will notice the difference.
'Sherlock' was outstanding and I'm a hardcore Sherlockian who hasn't enjoyed anything this much since the Jeremy Brett series, Cumberbatch was born to play the great detective.
This show is my heart and soul--not only do I love the Conan Doyle stories, and just about all the renditions on screen, but Steven Moffat IS BEAST when it comes to complicated stories and he is just THE PERFECT person for a good Holmes story. He's made Doctor Who series 5 just absolutely brain-melting awesome, and ditto for the Holmes!!!
Dammit, I've only seen a couple clips of this on youtube, and I'm so excited! XDD My sister's got her hot little hands on the first series, but won't let me watch it 'til I go back home for the holidays. :(
However - I've completely cleaned out the fanfiction on it, and I still can't picture Rupert Graves as Lestrade - in my head he's Phillip Jackson (Insp. Japp from the early series of Poirot.) XDDD
HAHAHA My first thought when I watched this yesterday! Merlin and Sherlock now my two favourite bbc shows.
They both have a really strange prettiness... with the cheekbones and the full lips and the long face and stunning eyes. The pale skin and dark hair is also a plus :D
This is one of my favourite Tv shows EVER! =) Love love love Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephan Moffat and Mark Gattis LOTS! At the end of the first episode however many times i watch it i automatically smile and clap and woop =D Sherlock <3
THE BEST TV SERIES IN THE WORLD. I am a huge fan of the books and I am absolutely pleased with it!! The best modern adaptation of the series so far. The acting couldn’t be better; both Sherlock and Watson are perfect, even fitted in the 21 century. Bravo! !
Esta serie es muy genial, 10 temporadas seria lo justo, Sherlock tiene mucha historia, y con los recursos modernos... tenemos algo mejor que House y por mucho, suerte!
@felic70 The BBC probably has a slave army of musicians and composers held at gunpoint somewhere, which explains why all their theme tunes sound alike.
I'm a great fan of Jeremy Brett's portrayal and I thought I'd never seen someone else who can bring Sherlock Holmes to life again the way JB did...until now. The entire show is amazing, brilliant and stunning! Let there be more episodes, PLEASE!
A study in pink was absoutely superb! I am really gutted that there is only going to be 3 epsiodes. Let's hope that there will be more! benedict Cumberbatch makes a perfect sherlock holmes.
Benedict pitched Sherlock very very well. I wonder, with Moffat being one of the minds behind this, was he one of the people who auditioned alongside Matt Smith for the role of the Doctor. I do of course hope that Matt stays on for as long as possible but if he ever decided that the Doctor is not the role for him (more fool him) Benedict would make a great 12th Doctor.
@flaziola ABsolutely AGREE! He would be a fantastic doctor. I said the same thing myself right after watching Sherlock's first episode... and it's amazing! He pulls off the swift-smarty thing so well... and that's key with a doctor ;-) Please, Steven Moffat, when Matt Smith decides to leave, get Benedict Cumberbatch!
@flaziola He was offered the role because he's good friends with the Moffat but he turned it down because he said he wasn't into the "whole package deal thing, like being on kid's lunchboxes"! But I agree, he'd be a fantastic doctor. Shame that although the ratings are so good, they can't release another series til NEXT YEAR fue to Maffat's Dr Who schedule. Sad times.
@Vampiregizzle888 I know, and you wouldn't have guessed what a beast he could be from that tiny part in The Other Boleyn Girl. As Sherlock, he's like a revelation.
