Sherlock
« on: Sep 20, 2010 at 12:16 AM »
I'm half surprised this series hasn't been mentioned here yet (though I only made it's acquaintance recently myself).

Sherlock


"It is a contemporary update of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson. Una Stubbs appears as their landlady Mrs. Hudson, and Rupert Graves as DI Lestrade."

Watching the first 15 minutes of this series, I was deathly afraid Sherlock was going to give Dr. Who a run for his money as my favorite Brit hero. Imagine my shock then when I discover that none other than the Doctor's head writer, Steven Moffat, is this show's co-creator. Amazing!

I heard somewhere there is some difficulty getting season two up and running because of the high production costs.

And look out for Benedict Cumberbatch's girlfriend making an appearance on episode 2.

I read it's because of scheduling issues since Moffat is writing episodes for the current season of Doctor Who. Series 2 returns with three new 90-minute episodes in Autumn 2011.

For those who haven't had the chance to see this bloody brilliant update of Sherlock Holmes, AXN Beyond will be airing it this May 6, 2011.

Sherlock is certainly one of the best shows I've seen this year, with awesome performances by the two leads. I regret that I just discovered it a couple of months ago. It's too bad that "seasons" for this series only have 3 episodes each, but at 90 minutes per episode, you can think of them as 3 movies instead.

Empire magazine reports that Season 2 of Sherlock will adapt A Scandal In Bohemia, The Hound Of The Baskervilles and The Final Problem. "Season two is what we're calling 'The Woman, The Hound and The Fall’ trilogy," Sherlock creator/writer Mark Gatiss explained. Gatiss also mentioned that filming on Season 2 was only "a week and a bit" away from completion, and will premiere in early 2012.

Excellent season premiere. Kakaasar lang, bitin na nga most UK series na 6-8 episodes per season, tapos ito, 3 episodes na naman lang!

yup agree sir bitin talaga mga UK series, yung merlin lang ang pinapanood ko na UK series na umaabot ng 12-13 episodes.

Well parang 6 episodes na rin siya kasi 1 episode is 1 and a half hours which is equivalent to 2 normal episodes na 43 minutes....

The 1st season has got an unaired Episode 0 - same plot as Episode 1 with some differences (including some of the actors).

I didn't realize that even Season 2 would only have 3 episodes. Darn.  :'(

But it's a fantastic series. I've been recommending it to everyone.

I love Moriarty and Irene Adler.

My guess is that it might involve Sherlock's homeless network, which probably includes the guy on the bicycle that bumped into Watson as he was running towards Sherlock's fallen body.

Great series, though I admit that it's too fast for me. I had to pause sometimes, replay some scenes. But I have no problem completing a marathon of all episodes. I don't understand why some fans hate Adler, I hope she comes back for season 3. Scandal in Belgravia is my favorite episode so far. Also, I've read most explanations on why Moriarty killed himself, but personally I still feel dissatisfied he'd do that.
