Has anyone watched any of the BBC's "Sherlock" series with Benedict Cumberbatch? I really enjoy them.



Yes, it's a good modern take on the stories.

What I like is they'll take one of the canon stories and not simply set it in modern times, but do so in such a way that shows what wouldn't work from the canon today and what would need to be fundamentally changed in order to make it work. Based on, but not ridiculously beholding to the original canon.

I also really like how it points out how some things haven't changed at all in about a hundred years. Watson still served in Afghanistan and they still take cabs to crime scenes. ;) I really appreciate that!

Yes.. They work with the text messaging really well and the way it appears on screen. A good reboot. Can't wait until series 3.



And what are text messages other than the frequent telegrams Holmes and Watson used to send each other? ;)
