Sherlock is a genius program. The amount of work that is put into the adaptations of the classic Strand Magazine serials and novels is impressively well done. I myself have read most of the classic Sherlock Holmes adventures with a personal favorite being "The Final Problem" ending with the 'death' of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson reading out his final letter. How Stephen Thompson adapted "The Final Problem" into the epic story of "The Reichenbach Fall" with such skill is astonishing. Not to mention the characters! Sherlock and Watson have a friendship unlike any other (They are not in a relationship) and Mycroft is an enigma. Moriarty is a genius of an artistic level, his ultimate plan and how he executes it is done dramatically but with deadly skill. Sherlock himself is a fantastic representation of the original character and Watson? Watson is just this guy you know? (That was a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference. I will probably also touch on that later on)
Sherlock is fantastic, it's a mix of hilarity, drama, crime, slight romance, weirdly placed nudity (Watch "A Scandal in Belgravia") and much, much more that will make you want to watch more and more. Season Three ahoy!
