Not that I want Moriarty back. To have him back after just 1 season out seems ridiculous to me.

Read somewhere that they want to start filming as soon as Martin & Bennedict are finished with the Hobbittdw92 wrote:Has anything been released to suggest when the next series will be on? I hope its not another two years! Can't wait that long again!

Do yourselves a favour and read the books. Sherlock holmes as a best man, i nearly shat meself. Preposterous.
Re: Sherlock (BBC)
From the first episode they've taken liberties, it's not trying to be Sherlock Holmes from the book. It's more loosely based upon that. His character is very different. In the books he's completely different, and has considerably more social skills when he chooses to.DarrasHallStalker wrote:Do yourselves a favour and read the books.

Yes pal, writing on the wall when they called the first one 'study in pink' in case your average square eyes didn't know what scarlet is. Still gets people interested.
Re: Sherlock (BBC)
Recently watched all of series one and series two on the constant encouragement of a friend. I liked a few of the modern takes of the old stories, but it seemed gimmicky most of the time. Loads of modern detective shows replicate old Holmes stories anyway, so I'm not entirely sure why a show set in the 21st century about an autistic jester and his grey flunky has to be called Sherlock Holmes when it has next to nothing else in common with the books. Rename the characters and they'd have gotten away with an unrelated title without many complaints.
On its own merit though it still doesn't even seem as good as, say, Luther. I can't see what all the fuss is about .

Re: Sherlock (BBC)
I just like it because it's not a series that relies on a binge watch. You can watch one episode and feel content, whereas most series want you to basically watch a whole season in one go.

It's fun light hearted Shlock that is sometimes thinks it's more clever than it is. People rave on about it too much but I enjoy it

Yeah I basically agree with this. It's not a grossly offensive show, and it's interesting that the episodes are about film length. But Cumberbatch's performance is annoying, particularly the repetitive hyper-fast cold reading and subsequent verbal blowjob by everyone in earshot wore very thin after episode one. And, as you say, it's not as clever as its swaggering would have us believe.

Re: Sherlock (BBC)
I actually thought the Guy Richie film tried to do something more original and interesting than this TV show. Focussing on the parts of the book where it says Sherlock overpowered people, without saying how. The idea many people had of Sherlock, the uppity stoic gent was from the 60s and 70s tv versions, was ambitious to challenge this. Again it was a silly bit of fun, but enjoyable
