    Minimally intresting but dampened by how it's shot or it's pacing. Despite the casts acting chop the script is weak and barely enjoyable.

    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.

    i like Sherlock confidence and abilities and techniques in his detective work. He has a cold exterior attitude towards people but still has a good will and always want to prevent anything bad happening to an innocent and is willing to give his own life for it so he can do right in terms of justice and creating stronger community

    Simplemente fantástica, que decir de Sherlock.
    Una interpretación por parte del elenco de actores de 10, cada capítulo parece una película que parecen al mismo independientes entre si pero que a la vez todo se conecta para dar finales de temporada memorables. Le doy el 10 sobre 10. Mi segunda crítica u/o review de la sección de TV.

    Episodes are too long and too rushed with predictable plots. But everything else is pretty decent and there aren't many other quality shows out there, so it still gets a solid score.

    This show is a main part of The Golden Age Of Television. It is Character driven and the duo here is one of THE BEST ever to appear on T.V. (along with Luther and Alice in LUTHER and Rust and Marty in TRUE DETECTIVE). Never should this series end! SUPERB.

But the inspector believes that they didn't commit suicide in fact he believes that they were all murdered but doesn't know how they were murdered. This is what happens in a tv series called Sherlock, most of this series is based on drama.
    The inspector better to be known as Lestrade(Rupert Graves) invites Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) who is not in the police to inspect one of the recent crime scenes. Sherlock also invites one of his friends who he just met known as Doctor Watson(Martin Freeman). Sherlock new everything about him as soon as he saw him and in the crime scene he knew a lot about the woman that others don't, then Sherlock went off to look for the suitcase that she had and her phone. Meanwhile Doctor watson was picked up by one of sherlock's enemies. The inspector went to Sherlock's house for a drug bust but he wasn't there for the drug bust he was their because Sherlock was holding evidence from the case. Sherlock found a way to trace the women's phone and found out it was right outside his house.
    There is this one scene where holmes found out their was a suitcase that the lady had and no one else knew that the lady had a suitcase and starts saying to everyone “where is the suitcase” then starts dashing off to go and find it.There is show much going on in one episode it feels you're their every step of the way it is truly unimaginable. Some of the best parts where when he figured out most of watsons life in a matter of seconds and to solve the crime scene. There was only one dreadful part that was unpredictable, it was when holmes got into the car of the murder.
    The series felt spectacular to watch from the beginning to the end it truly felt like they were pulling you into the episode. Most of the time the atmosphere was intense due to the fact of the drama that was going on and the clues that they were finding. I would highly recommend people to watch this series, after that first episode it made me want to watch more. I would give this a 9/10 for the amazing work they did in this TV series.    … Expand

In the TV series Sherlock Episode 1 A “Study in Pink” Benedict Cumberbatch brings the worlds best known detective Sherlock Holmes to life and portrays his cases in a modern setting. Director Paul McGuigan magically creates these cases in a way younger generations will find them interesting and relevant to today’s society. The story line remains correct and the setting in London remains the same. You will see Holmes ditch the pipe for a nicotine patch and will see the detective using the modern technology of cell phones and computers. Dr. Watson who is portrayed by Martin Freeman is shown as being a wounded service doctor who has returned from Afghanistan.
    During the episode we see how the dynamic duo of Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes develope. The viewer gets a glimpse of Holmes personal life and how he lives. The city is facing the challenge of murders that appear to be suicides but are all somehow linked. How are suicides linked? That’s the question Sherlock Holmes is out to answer. A victim by the name of Jennifer Wilson before she died left a clue that helped solve the case. She was also smart enough to leave her phone with the suspect so he could be tracked. Sherlock then finds himself face to face with the suspect. He learns first hand that the suspect talks his victims into killing themselves.
    The episode is full of action and suspense. From the beginning of the episode you are locked in and feel that you are actually helping solve the crime. It’s almost as if you were taken from your seat and dropped off at 221B Baker Street. The episode shows what makes Sherlock Holmes so significant compared to his average colleagues. Holmes tends to be a pain to his peers but they need him or else they couldn’t solve the case. In the episode the team of Dr. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes develops which would be the equivalent of today’s Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute.
    This is one of the best productions I have seen based on classic literary works. The details and the character portrayal is spot on and the show draws you in. You feel as if you are with the characters every step of the way and that you are also trying to solve the crime. I would strongly recommend giving the episode a watch, you will not be disappointed. I would give this episode an A.    … Expand

    The superhuman Khan, standing next to Arthur Dent, far, far across the galaxy. Could this be? Or maybe it was Doctor Strange with Everett K Ross, in an epic marvel smash up? Whatever your first thought was, we knew that if it had the amazing cinematography as Victor Frankenstein, along with the beautiful banter from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, it would be easy to fall in love with this recreation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s mystery crime series Sherlock.
    BBC’s series Sherlock delivers wonderfully, pleasing us with the horror of crime and the humor of sarcasm as we watch Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) struggle to understand the intentions of his new acquaintance, Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) as he is dragged into the investigation of the murder of a woman, whom had seemingly bathed in pink dye. With this story of crime and mystery, Cumberbatch contributes by delivering highly sarcastic lines while using his incredible ability to stay stoic during any situation. Watson, a retired military doctor, exasperatedly follows around his new partner, practically jumping out of his seat at the chance to once again feel the thrill of the chase. When news comes in of a suicide, a mysterious case linked to four others, we watch as sherlock takes off, gracefully explaining hidden details to Watson, mimicking Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s form of writing.
    Steve Moffat wonderfully recreates the original Sherlock Novels we all know and love, one way or another. For some, it’s a beautiful recreation of something they once so feverishly read with a hunger for the answer. For others, it’s a shining key that unlocks the door to the world Conan Doyle created so long ago. Even the memorable quote made by Holmes during multiple of the original sherlock stories reappears, and we get to watch Cumberbatch calmly tell Watson that this case is a “Three patch problem”, the same way our original Holmes commonly told his partner that a case was a “Three pipe problem”. The two actors are truly a wonderful match for the detective pair, so much that they are the modern icon of the famous, british detective.
    As the episode finishes up, not one bit of its initial charm is lost. In fact, quite the opposite happened. As always, our memorable detectives go on to investigate another day of crime, and we are left sitting in our seats, stunned by Moffat’s modern recreation of the wonderful detective stories created by Conan Doyle. Through mystery, through suspense, through anger, confusion, and more, Moffat did not once loose sight of the first works that featured the memorable detective by the name of Sherlock Holmes, and I am proud to say that this world of mystery will be held in the hearts of people for many, many years to pass.    … Expand

    Two sherlocks, One powerful mind seen in two different ways. The popular show Sherlock played on BBC is based off the popular books Conan Doyle had written about the character Sherlock Holmes and his assistant John Watson. The Sherlock Holmes in the show is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. While his assistant John Watson is played by Martin Freeman. In the first episode “ A Study In Pink”Two sherlocks, One powerful mind seen in two different ways. The popular show Sherlock played on BBC is based off the popular books Conan Doyle had written about the character Sherlock Holmes and his assistant John Watson. The Sherlock Holmes in the show is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. While his assistant John Watson is played by Martin Freeman. In the first episode “ A Study In Pink” Sherlock and John meet from a friend of John’s which leads them to the flat of 221 B Baker St. Where we truly see how the characters are.
    When Arriving at 221 B Baker St. We meet Mrs. Hudson, played by Una Stubbs is introduced as the landlady. As we see john gets to know Mrs. Hudson we see Sherlock read about three “suicides”. We meet a new character named Lestrade who is played by Rupert Graves. He asked Sherlock to help with the case which leads us to wonder if the newest case is really a suicide. With the information at the crime scene Sherlock thinks different. We then see that the game is truly on.
    The Episode all together was very clever it kept making your mind work to see what was missing from the crime. It also was amazing to see how different Holmes and Watson were in the show than from the book. In the book sherlock seems to still take care and listen closely to the person speaking while in the show he prefers to keep to himself completely and not want to be bothered with anyone. John Also seems more closed off in the show than in the book. In the episode it was quite interesting to see Watson’s blog wasn’t about the high functioning sociopath at first. It was supposed to be about his thoughts and memories from the war. It was quite amazing to see how quickly the two people bonded with each other over the thrill of the crime case. You see this even in the beginning when Sherlock leaves for the crime scene and can’t hold back from not joining. It gives him the thrill of back in the war he missed. In the end you see that though they were strangers the thrill of the game is too much for them to stop.
    So all together, in the episode we see some differences of the characters from the book but we still get the same excitement while reading the books. You can see your favorite Book Character in live action. The bond in the books can’t even be changed in the show they both just love the excitement and thought that is put into figuring out the truth behind the crimes they solve which they never stop trying till they do find the truth. Even if it means possibly risking their lives.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brillante série, réellement.
    L'intrigue est excellente, le jeu d'acteur est très, mais alors très bon, Benedict Cumberbatch retranscrit d'une manière originale mais savoureuse la personnalité de Sherlock Holmes à l'écran, et Andrew Scott interprète Moriarty d'une manière un peu surprenante, mais fantastique.
    Le personnage de Sherlock Holmes, puisque c'est l'élément principal de la série, au-delà des crimes à résoudre finalement, est ancré dans le réel, l'écriture est intéressante en ce qu'elle a pris le parti de faire évoluer le personnage dans notre monde contemporain, et crée ainsi une tension bien plus forte due aux événements susceptibles de se passer demain, ou après-demain, ou après après demain..
    La force de cette série tient autant du jeu d'acteurs que de la réalisation, le mouvement et la réflexion de Sherlock sont retranscris à l'écran par une réalisation plutôt bonne, simple mais efficace.
    Le personnage de Sherlock est aussi facile à suivre, assez didactique, mais nous laisse sans voix de par sa construction.

The Holmes character as a "Dr House"-like self-described sociopath and smartest-man-in-the-room is only mildly interesting, because well "House" has been done already. They do show a few times where Holmes' arrives at the wrong conclusion but they're trivial mistakes. It'd be much more humbling were he to make larger mistakes that questioned his confidence. That would make things much more interesting as he struggled with some real internal conflict in trying to restore his confidence to solve a case, but that's just me apparently.… Expand

Sherlock is a crime drama TV-series and adaption of sir Arthur Conan Doyle`s Sherlock Holmes detective stories. It first aired in 2010 and has 4 seasons til present.
    Set in the 21st century London, Scherlock Holmes a „consulting detective“ solves various mysteries with the help from his flatmate and good friend Dr John Watson, who has returned from military service in Afghanistan. Although Police inspector Greg Lestrade and others are at first suspicious of Holmes, over time his exceptional intellect and bold powers of observation persuade them of his value. In part through Watson's blog documenting their adventures, Holmes becomes a reluctant celebrity with the press reporting on his cases and eccentric personal life. Both ordinary people and the British government ask for his help. Although the series depicts a variety of crimes and perpetrators, Holmes' conflict with his enemy Jim Moriarty is a recurring feature.
    I've been a Sherlock Holmes' fan for what feels like forever, and, like others, was concerned that this modern version would be a disaster. I needn't have worried. It was a terrific, fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat adventure. Benedict Cumberbatch delivered a fantastic performance in the leading role and Martin Freeman played his sidekick role very well. Cumberbatch brings a dark edginess to Holmes that gives the whole piece a delightful 'Gothic' feel, while Freeman - will make a perfect foil as Watson. Casting is so important and this combination feels just right. The series are beautifully filmed and the story with its twists and turns is very thrilling. For me the only negativity is low-budget special effects.
    That said, this is my favorite adaption from Sherlock Holmes stories. The show is very entertaining and keeps viewers nailed in front of TV. Casting is very well done and the film in general is very epic. If you are looking for mystery series with hint of comedy this Tv-show is definitely for you.    … Expand

Season 3 was abysmal, a disgrace, an affront to the memory of Sherlock Holmes' creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, and to the character himself. The show has become so frantic in its pacing and how it is shot, like a 50 minute music video, that it is virtually impossible to follow. I think some shots are so short they must occupy half a frame of film. Also, rather than understand Sherlock's reasoning, as we did in season 1, the explanations in season 3 are not explanations at all. They are just pretend explanations that come and go so quickly we are not even meant to understand them, which makes the show boring. If you have so little faith in your story that you have to dress it up with all this hyperactive superficial nonsense, don't even bother telling it. And by the way, Sherlock Holmes is NOT A COLD BLOODED MURDERER.. To turn him into one was disgusting. I'm going back to re-watch the 1980s-90s Sherlock Holmes, the definitive series with Jeremy Brett, the best Holmes series ever made starring the best Holmes actor who ever lived, as I've said goodbye to this ADHD Attention Deficit Disordered sociopathic take on Holmes.

    Great pilot and great setup going forward. Series 1 is great, and although there are clear budget problems and the fact that it is a tad bit dated in both the sense that the phones are old and the sense that its episodes are not as good as future episodes in the series, it's fun to watch.

The police did not want Holmes to investigate then they ended up asking him for his help. His detective skills help him find the missing information that they needed for their case. Sherlock and John end up finding the clues that they need to solve this mystery.

    Sherlock takes place in London in 2010. This show is a hit show and should be enjoyed by all. The show has some touching topics that could be taken even further in depth then they already have. Sherlock goes in depth with solving mysteries and does anything for the thrill of the case he is on.

    In our modern-day society, we are used to seeing crimes. But the cases our friends Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman (John H.

Martin Freeman was casted in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and The Office (2001-2003).In our modern-day society, we are used to seeing crimes.

They are also featured in other movies and TV shows. Martin Freeman was casted in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and The Office (2001-2003). Where Benedict Cumberbatch was seen in The Imitation Game (2014) and 12 Years a Slave (2013). They’re both in a variety of different genres of shows and movies, and are not new to working together on a set. They can be seen together on The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey (2012) and The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies (2014).
    In the show, Dr.Watson first meets Sherlock Holmes, and Mr.Holmes tells him that they are to get a flat together. There is currently an open case of what they think is suicides, and are soon convinced they are murders due to all the deaths being caused by the same poison. Sherlock already figured they were all murders, and was soon allowed by the chief of police to help in the investigation. Sherlock wants Watson to join in. Soon found many clues and a way to find the victim's “lost” phone. But you’re going to have to watch the show to figure out what happens in the end. Needless to say, it was not expected.
    Watching this show constantly leaves you sitting at the edge of your seat. You’re always wondering what’s going to happen next. You also look forward to the seeing the end and what happens overall. I personally do not belive it’s idealistic in our modern society, we would not witness anything like this in our current days. I mean, it’s possible for an absolute genius and a former army men to meet randomly and start solving crimes together, But it is highly unlikely. But overall it is an extremely exciting and exotic, thrilling.
    Overall, it is a very great show and series. Even if it not as realistic as I imagined it would be reading the books, it is very exciting to see Sherlock and Watson come to life. The show is very true to itself. The actors that Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (directors) have chosen to impersonate Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson, were how I had imagined them looking, as weird as that is. They execute their parts perfectly and were a great choice of people to have chosen to work together. I would give this show a good nine out of 10.    … Expand

    The Sherlock series episode “A Study in Pink” takes you on a mysterious journey, set in modern London, of discovering what really happened to an initially believed 4 suicidal victims that Sherlock Holmes and potential assistant, Dr. John Watson, would sought out to prove that there is a serial killer involved. The lead roles are played by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman (Dr. John Watson). The creators and writers are Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.
    Consecutive questionable suicides catches the attention of the people in London. A returned war veteran, John Watson, is looking for a place to stay. John meets Sherlock Holmes and is instantly fascinated by the incredible detective he is. John moves in with Sherlock to help pay the rent. Sherlock is just about to start up on the case of an apparent murder but he needs an assistant to come along. John, driven by his passion for danger and mystery on the battlefield decides to tag along. Sherlock and John find themselves in an astonishing but difficult mystery of a serial killer.
    The actor Benedict Cumberbatch and the creators of the show do a great job of displaying a modern day Sherlock Holmes. They did a good job of bringing Holmes and Watson to life from paper onto the screen. The actors seemed like a good fit. The creators display the smart and clever Sherlock Holmes as a “high functioning sociopath” as said by the character, Holmes, himself in the pilot episode. Some audiences might feel as if going into and seeing Sherlock’s thoughts as he discovers things that normal people would not comprehend might be a little much on the fictional side. Although it was very interesting to get that perspective that is hard to display in writing in the books.
    This episode alone gives a good impression for the series. The mysterious journey Holmes and Watson will take you on is very entertaining and will keep you guessing until the very end. I would recommend this series to anyone who is into mystery, crime, detective films. I give the episode “A Study in Pink” a seven out of ten rating. This series is a top competitor in this genre of tv shows and movies.    … Expand

    Sherlock is a show with its up and downs, and the first episode gave me great expectations for the rest of the series, which disappointed me severely. One of the things that Sherlock does well is the humour, it never fails to display the best of the characters in Sherlock and their funny sides. The two main characters have some very interesting interactions as well, and it is fun to seeSherlock is a show with its up and downs, and the first episode gave me great expectations for the rest of the series, which disappointed me severely.

Apart from that, the show is quite a fun watch.… 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.
