Sherlock
Tonight I watched the first 90-minute episode of Sherlock, the new British mini-series airing State-side for three weeks on PBS. Though it may not be a totally fair comparison, I’d say Sherlock blows the recent Sherlock Holmes movie out of the water (the former takes place in modern times while the latter is in the 1800s). The bizzare Benedict Cumberbatch plays an incredibly fast-thinking, witty, and constantly-texting Holmes, while Martin Freeman (recently cast as Bilbo Baggins in the new Hobbit movies) plays the likable John Watson, recently home from a military stint in Afghanistan.
The first episode is called A Study In Pink, and it kept me on the edge of my seat and laughing out loud until the very end. Better acting, better writing, and better mystery-solving than Sherlock Holmes for sure. Sorry, Robert D. Jr.
