Can I just say how exciting and fun it was to watch this first episode of the new, modern Shelock Holmes? I wish I had been the one to think of it.I love how the creators and the character describe him as a high functioning sociopath. The fact that he has no clue as to how to act around other people and how it's explained early on, I found refreshing. I was thrilled by how he compares how his brain works to others.
The subtle showing of the phone texting or how he knows the streets and routes that a car have to take, how they show it on screen, like his head is a computer. Just brilliant.
Benedict Cumberbatch was an inspired choice as Sherlock. He gives so much credibility to the character, it's hard to know that he's just acting.
I like Martin Freeman, HOT FUZZ and THE OFFICE (The British Version) is great as Dr. Watson. His emotional issues, along with is familial issues and dedication to being honorable are great.
Wonderful acting all around. So smart, so fun, so interesting. I can't wait for the next episode to air.
Masterpiece Mystery!
