...I love me some Sherlock
When in the latest issue of "Rolling Stone" that Tim Freeman was starring in the new BBC "Sherlock" series as Watson, I knew I had to check it it. I adored him the BBC "Office" and I have always loved the character of Sherlock Holmes. This version set in a present day London, utilizes a young Sherlock's deductive genius along with the technology of cell phones, the internet and a partner who's as freakishly drawn to the crime scene as he is. I'm not familiar with Cumberbatch but his depiction of mental agility and impatience with what he perceives to be the mental ineptitude people in a young present day Sherlock is exceptional. And Tim Freeman as his partner Watson is perfect. They have that very rare quality in the partnership of the legendary pair which indicates their great regard as well as disdain for each other in equal amounts.
I started watching it on Netflix streaming last week and am now hooked. I know that there are a lot of crime scene mysteries on television that are huge hits but for me, nothing beats a Sherlock Holmes mystery because the most curious and fascinating element is Holmes mind at work. And of course the inevitable, Moriarity whom I do believe is real.
