    A primeira temporada é simplesmente incrível e bem feita, cheia de detalhes muito bem pensados. Digno de um 10, apesar de alguns pontos negativos mínimos, que nem merecem ser mencionados.

    A very entertaining contemporary version of the classic. The new Sherlock is even more of an obnoxious prick (and, as Willow would say "slightly gay") than the legendary Jeremy Brett and the new dr. Watson might just be my favourite yet. The writing is smart and crisp and we even get the on screen graphics to follow the processing of clues. I sincerely hope there will be a series 2.

    What a treat! I love the way the have updated the characters to reflect the master sleuth and his level headed friend to reflect modern times. The characters of Sherlock and Watson are brilliantly played and the action maintains a steady pace. Have watched the opening show many times and am looking forward to the next Masterpiece Mystery this Sunday. Way to go PBS!

    I was intrigued by the teasers for this show and since I am a life long Holmesian I had to watch.
    This is brilliant. Dominc Cumberbatch's Holmes is the absolute pitch perfect 21st century "edtiion".
    I love the lighting and the ways they bring in hints from Victorian times like Cumberbatch's hair cut and that wonderful swirling overcoat and scarf he wears. His body movement is amazing.    I was intrigued by the teasers for this show and since I am a life long Holmesian I had to watch.

    I love the lighting and the ways they bring in hints from Victorian times like Cumberbatch's hair cut and that wonderful swirling overcoat and scarf he wears. His body movement is amazing. He BECOMES Holmes and yet definitely puts his own stamp on the character and it's a deliberately modern stamp....AND the great thing is you buy it....you go with it ....he just takes you away. The long suffering Watson is now the tough guy partner who will not hesitate to use force and he always has his partner's back. Watching him at first so sad, war weary and skeptical and then becoming mesmerised by Holmes' impossible knack for pursuing excitement and danger was a treat. The stories are modern takes on the originals so you see events and hear names that harken back to the books.
    So many wonderful films and TV shows come out of the UK and we love them for it.....but this? This is a wonder on so many levels. I had to watch the first episode twice because I couldn't believe how brilliant it was. Thank you Masterpiece Mystery for this wonderful realisation of our beloved Sherlock.    … Expand

    The episodes are too long at 1 hour 30 mins each, and the pacing is off at some points, but overall it's quite clever, has good acting & direction and is engaging because you never know what's going to happen- there's always a surprise. It's also very modern and not some ancient nerdfest for literature critics. It's appealing universally.

Cumberbatch's appearance as eccentric and arrogant detective is really convincing.

I don't know if it is intentional but it seems Sherlock has some sort of ADHD or something in this incarnation, he cannot sit still and HAS to have something to do, if he doesn't he shoots bullets into the wall. Martin Freeman is fantastic as Watson, making him clever and brave from his time at war, giving his opinion on cases whenever he can get a word in. Both actors are fantastic and brilliant in their roles.… Expand

    The best modern interpretation, of Sherlock Holmes there has ever been. Captures the character right but fits perfectly in the modern world with out seeming out of place. Benedict Cumberbatch and Jeremy Brentt are the two best Holmes to ever be put on screen.

The dialogue is beautifully crafted to each character's emotions and personalities. But be warned: this is not meant to be a funny show. The mysteries keep you guessing until the end. The plot developments, twists and turns keep you entertained. But the thing that stands Sherlock out from all other fictional characters is the simple logic of his observational and deductive reasoning. Hats off to the director. This guy is a genius. Its hard to explain what he does, so just watch the show to see it for yourself. He manages to pull me into each story at an emotional level. And don't forget the music. It ranges from tense music in the suspenseful scenes to energetic in the fast-paced scenes. Okay, there is one flaw, to be fair. I would have liked a bit more character development. We don't learn much new about each character, especially Sherlock.

Sherlock is an unbelievable experience, taking every recent iteration of the iconic sleuth and overshadowing each one with its witty dialogue and incredible lead acting. Cumberbatch, who flawlessly portrays the lovably heartless sociopath, and Freeman, the humane war veteran Watson, come together as one of the best on-screen duos quite possibly in any medium. Their banter both in and outside the crime scenes, ranging from deductions to social conflicts, give the series an unquenchable spirit that keeps the audience begging for more. The mysteries are also cleverly adapted from the source material, taking Doyle's masterpieces and reinventing them with a modern twist that adds a sense of relevance to the episodes. Even the supporting cast is memorable, featuring performances that make me seriously rethink my opinions of the Robert Downey films. Lestrade is not a bumbling idiot but a useful ally. Mrs. Hudson isn't an irritable landlady, but a sweet, naive mother figure. Everything feels better and allows me to invest in the story even more.
    In short, it says a lot about a series to produce three episodes a season. They need to uphold a strong level of quality to make up for the lack of content they provide. However, Sherlock needn't worry about all this. The characters, mysteries, and dialogue not only come together like cogs in a machine, perfectly working off one another to produce an exceptional final product, but also go above and beyond the source material with a modern spin that truly shines. It is my sincere hope that Sherlock lasts forever, because its undeniable charm has forever been implanted into my mind, taking root and, like a good mystery, will never escape until the case is closed.

    The legend of Sherlock Holmes returns as a TV series in 2010. Director, Paul McGuigan, conducted a brilliant show that brings suspense, realism, and comedy to the audience. Benedict Cumberbatch played an amazing role as Sherlock Holmes, teaching the audience cleverness and intelligence when investigating a serious problem. Also Dr. John Watson who was unbelievably well played by Martin Freeman, brings more of a “street smart” view to the story. Unlike Holmes, he shows the audience his intelligence by his past experiences with war and his medical field.

    “The name’s Sherlock Holmes”, Holmes says, leaving Dr. Watson in awe after just meeting him. In the tv series Sherlock, a man with a very high IQ and an army doctor from Afghanistan meet each other and become partners in crime. Four suicides occur around the same time and Holmes is out to find who was behind it all. While Watson gives his input throughout the show, he plays a big role in solving the horrific case.

    The episode, “A Study in Pink”, gives the audience a feeling of suspense and thriller. While watching the wonderful film, Sherlock, you are being put on the edge of your seat, feeling as if you were in the show. McGuigan puts a few laughs into the film, to catch the audience off guard. By having the main character have such a high intelligence level, it leaves the audience with mouths wide open, while feeling in such curiosity. This is a fantastic way to make a good show.

    The film was definitely an amazing one. While feeling excited throughout the whole experience, lessons were taught, reality was brought to attention and the audience was left in awe. Recommending this to somebody would be a very good idea, preferably thriller seekers and investigation lovers. This film got an outstanding 9 out of 10.    … Expand

    A mystery masterpiece introduces “Sherlock” episode “A Study In Pink” two sharped dressed men going thru the town trying to solve mysteries on why and how so many people were dying.

    Wounded in Afghanistan while in the Army, Dr. John Watson returns to London. While Watson was roaming the sidewalks in London he came across a mutual acquaintance, Mike Stamford. Mike took John to 221B Baker Street which belongs to Mrs. Hudson. Watson became a flatmate at Mrs. Hudson apartment with brilliant private investigator Sherlock Holmes. They were investigating three identical mysterious suicides.

    Sherlock got asked by inspector Lestrade to join him in an intervention for the fourth suspicious death of Jennifer Wilson. As Jennifer laid there dying she wrote “Rache” upon the floor. While Sherlock was investigating he noticed her stillborn daughter name was “Rache” not “Rachel”. Sherlock found out what the password to Jennifer's phone which led him to confront a terminally ill serial killer, who poisons people, and he is determined to make Sherlock his next victim. Watson is amazed by Holmes powers of observation at the crime scenes.

    Holmes occasionally had helped the police with the mysterious investigations. All four people all who “committed suicide”. Police believed there may be another explanation due to several similarities in the crimes. After Holmes agreed to assist, he heard the most recent scene, where the victim was “A Lady Dressed In Pink” with the word “Rache” stretched into the floor boards. With Watson's assistance he provided individual assistance to Holmes. With both Holmes and Watson's assistance they were able to figure out the mysterious, terrible deaths of poor individuals.    … Expand

    Have you ever wondered about how detectives think? As viewers know that detectives are critical thinkers and get tangled up in strenuous predicaments such as chasing down criminals that killed many innocent lives: Wouldn’t you like to know how they solve those cases? People who watch Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat’s episode of Sherlock “The Study in Pink” will understand the critical criteria Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as John Watson have to collect to solve these cases.
    On the streets of modern day London there is a killer that made police think all the deaths were suicide. Sherlock Holmes the charmingly brilliant detective chases down the criminal. Him being a smart detective he has the ability to analyze the killer’s every move. With the help of his colleague Jonathan Watson, former military medic, they discover rather fascinating indications about the cliffhanging case.
    During this show there were a few flashbacks and this was an important element to Sherlock. It showed bits and pieces to things that were needed to know, such as Watson’s military background. There were also times where it slowed down for people to understand the way Sherlock Holmes thinks. It is incredibly important for this to happen because it would be hard to understand if it wasn’t in this show. All these elements are very relevant for this show, it takes you in a little deeper to grasp all the ideas of the film.
    This show had a very impressive setup. It was a huge step to do Sherlock Holmes in modern day because he was from a whole nother era. It was brilliant to do a modern day Sherlock so people can understand and relate to it better. His symbol was a magnifying glass which was not put into this film but replaced by a cell phone. This was as exciting as watching an elephant ride a bicycle.    … Expand

Sherlock being a high-functioning sociopath and Watson being an injured Vietnam war veteran come together to solve crimes. Seeing Cumberbatch and Freeman come together and play these roles really make the show better. Their characters and personalities mesh well together making this a hilarious drama series. After watching it once they’ll have you hooked and you’ll want to watch them solve more crimes together over and over again. In this episode, Sherlock meets a war veteran in need of more money so he can keep his house. Sherlock and Dr. Watson eventually end up moving in together. Sherlock was reviewing the seemingly unrelated suicides that were happening in London when he figured out that deaths are actually murders most foul. The police find a fourth victim when Sherlock goes to check out the crime scene, bringing Watson along with him. Rushing around everywhere they go to find more clues about the murder, Sherlock finds where the suitcase is and sends a message via text to the murderer. He believes the murderer gets anxious, causing him to change his plan. They track the killers phone when Sherlock realizes it’s the Taxi driver standing in the hallway. He follows him out to the car and the driver takes him to a building to “talk” and to tell Sherlock how he made the others kill themselves. They get in the room and the murderer tells Sherlock to choose a pill, and if he picks the one that is not poisonous he will be free. Right when he is about to take it there is a huge bang!
    This is one of those series that you could sit at home and watch all day. Running around usually 88 minutes, “Sherlock” is similar to other tv shows like House, The Mentalist, and The Big Bang Theory. Sherlock and his side kick Dr. Watson go on many adventures, capturing murderers along the way. “Sherlock” is like watching a baby smile and laugh. It makes you want to keep on watching and making that baby giggle again. It’s very interesting watching Benedict Cumberbatch playing the role of Sherlock. Going through all the clues very carefully, explaining them and seeing him give off a very sociopathic vibe is something very new and cool to watch him do. Some parts can be a little uninteresting and off topic, but watching Sherlock and Watson work as a team solving these crimes makes up for it very quickly, making you forget those little parts happened at all.
    This series is very good and it’s appropriate for all ages. You could get your family together and have a movie night, eating popcorn and watching very quietly and intently so you do not miss anything. I think casting Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock and Watson is one of the reasons why the show flows so well. The mesh very well together, not making it very interesting to watch, but also very funny. I would most definitely recommend others to watch this show. I would give “Sherlock” a 9/10. It’s funny and interesting and i could see myself and others going back to rewatch episodes because they’re so good. Moffatt and Gatiss did a very great job on this TV show. Making it as interesting and funny as they could. Casting the characters perfectly and going in depth about the crime and following all the clues.    … Expand

    The television series Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is directed by the famous director Paul McGuigan. It also includes famous actors such as Benedict Cumberbatch, and Martin Freeman. This TV series is very well written, and has high suspense, which is a key detail in any good detective story. The first episode is about Mysterious deaths happening around London, which seem like suicides, but Sherlock knows they're Murders. As the case seems to come to a close from Sherlock's brilliant detective work, he meets the killer, but what comes after is full of suspense.

    Sherlock Holmes meets a serious case which seems like suicides, and cannot be linked in anyway. He goes to a new scene and can detect any details that wouldn't be visible to other people at the crime scene. Holmes finds the last victim's suitcase, which has some missing items an important one is her phone. Holmes knows the killer would have it, so tracks the phone to find the murderers location. He finds out that a taxi driver is the murderer, and is taken to a very quite location, and what the murderer does next would have to be watched to be explained.

    One flaw with Dr. Watson is that he needs his cane to walk because of his injury in Afghanistan, and fails to keep up with Holmes. In a scene in the coffee shop, Watson leaves his cane behind and seems to do fine without it, which can leave most viewers very confused. This episode is like a cliffhanger, you know the best part is about to happen, you just don't know how it will happen. The two best parts are when holmes figures out who the murderer is. The second one is when he thinks he finds the killer, but was wrong figures out he wrong when he confronts the man after an intense chase.

    This series would be recommended for viewers who are looking for an action packed, suspenseful detective series. This TV series would get a 9 out of 10 rating, mainly because of the minor flaws. The book series originally written by Doyle are brought to life, with the same feel of any of his books. The creators should definitely continue with the makings of these shows, to bring heart pounding adventures to interested viewers.    … Expand

    Clearly, there are few more durable figures in fiction, but capturing the fundamental appeal of Holmes is quite another matter. And on that level, Sherlock cannily cracks the case.

    Thanks to committed performances from Cumberbatch and Freeman, and clever writing from Moffat and Gatiss, most of it works splendidly.

    It is cinematic in the sense that nothing in it looks quite real. But it works: This is not the London known as jolly and old, but the new chilly city of glass, a place of missed connections, of aliens and alienation. And the smart dialogue and warm performances--even Holmes has a discernible beating heart, or perhaps two--keep ice from forming on the production.
