Topic: The Sherlock Discussion Thread
With Series 3 underway, I thought this might be a good time to post this thread.
In case anyone isn't familiar with it (though I'm guessing most here have at least heard of it), Sherlock is a British TV show based on the adventures of Sherlock Holmes but set modern-day London. I'd highly recommend it--the writing is excellent and does a great job of balancing humour, action, and character development as well as updating the classic stories to the 21st century.
I expect this thread will go dormant from time to time, seeing as there are only 3 episodes in a series and there is often a long space of time between the series.
Anyway, for those of us who are familiar with the show, we can now discuss the latest episode (The Sign of Three). It was definitely on the more light-hearted side, but I liked the way it interwove seemingly unrelated stories which came together in the end. There were quite a few funny moments, especially with Sherlock and the ring-bearer kid (can't remember his name). Also, this.
The trailer for the last episode (which is airing tonight) has also been released, and this promises to be very interesting. The villain certainly wins the Creepy Award, which is somewhat surprising, as Charles Augustus Magnusson is clearly based off Charles Augustus Milverton from the books. (In the original novels, he is described as being jolly-looking and plump, "not unlike Mr. Pickwick".)
So, if you enjoy the show or just like Sherlock Holmes, feel free to discuss away!
