My sis pointed me to this BBC TV series “Sherlock”, which she described as a mix of CSI, House, Chuck, and British comedy. (“It is so YOU,” she said.) It’s a modern take at how Holmes would be in the 21st century, using tools at his disposal like an iPhone, a forensics lab, and text messaging. (And Watson blogs!) The acting is pretty good, especially the awkwardness of Holmes.
They’ve only produced the first season, comprising of three 90 minute episodes, and they’re all available for viewing online at PBS.org for a limited time (until Dec. 27). I managed to watch all three, and they’re actually pretty good, sprinkled with occasional moments of pure screenwriting genius. A worthwhile way to spend your extra holiday hours.
I look forward to watching the next season (available next fall). Thanks, sis.
