Sherlock

Anyone else watch Sherlock last week? What are your thoughts?

I thought it was brilliant. It does really bring Sherlock Holmes into the 21st Century. The touches with the mobile phone texts on the screen did annoy me the first time they appeared but soon got used to them and in the end fitted quite well.

I admit that I’d never heard of Benedict Cumberbatch so I had an open mind about his acting ability. I really enjoyed his acting in the first episode. 

I was wondering how well Tim Freeman would handle being John Watson and was really delighted how well he played him. They seemed to have a good chemistry together can’t wait to see how their relationship develops over the next 2 episodes.

I really enjoyed the scene with the Taxi Driver and Sherlock, a sort of battle of the minds. I’d seen the actor who played the taxi driver in other dramas and was as ever a joy to watch. His name escapes me at the moment.

I hope the next 2 episodes are as good.

Good work from Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.
