Freeman is perfect though as Watson.<br /><br />If you are interested in a Gentlemanly Holmes (in tune with the canon), I would highly recommend the Russian adaptation with Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin as Holmes and Watson respectively.<br /><br />Cheers!Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498276962097853996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-28592711510262555382012-02-07T15:12:56.158-07:002012-02-07T15:12:56.158-07:00I'm usually pretty squeamish about murder myst...I'm usually pretty squeamish about murder mysteries too, so I love the puzzles.

But Sherlock focuses more on solving the crime and coming up with puzzles that make you think. I loved the Blind Banker episode solely because Sherlock gets schooled by that girl when she points out the code has a few of the words written on it LOL :) Thanks for this post! I love the characters, too. And it totally makes me want to read the books :)Jessica @ Books: A true storyhttp://www.booksatruestory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-75184103311539513792012-02-06T16:19:00.946-07:002012-02-06T16:19:00.946-07:00I completely agree that Benedict Cumberbatch naile...I completely agree that Benedict Cumberbatch nailed Sherlock! (And oh, his name!) He does it so well. I'm actually glad to hear that a huge Sherlock fan is ok with the series, it makes it more legit to me for some reason :)melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-81630799063058874672012-02-05T12:57:35.842-07:002012-02-05T12:57:35.842-07:00Oh, my gosh!

CAN'T wait for series 2 to hit the U.S.). I can see your points about Sherlock, but Benedict Cumberbatch (who has the *funnest* name to say) does such a fabulous job with him. And I agree, totally, about Watson. Brilliant. <br /><br />My husband is a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan (read the books, loves the Jeremey Brett series in all its awesomeness) and this series totally lives up to his (very high) expectations. Me, I just love a good story, well told, and this is definitely it. I do hope the second series is as good. <br /><br />Okay.

I'm getting burnt out on Downton Abbey (are you watching Downton Abbey?) because they're getting a bit too soap-opera-y for me.<br /><br />I completely agree with all your comments about this. Love Watson and the way modern technology is used.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199624998247618525noreply@blogger.com
