I only saw the 1st season and dont want to watch further. First I dont like Benedict Cumberbatch and second the dramatic elements are ridiculous for me, for example when the show explains some conclusions too fast or the action parts.

As a huge fan not only of the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but also of the portrayals given by Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett, I saw Sherlock. And to be honest, and I don't know why, but I was expecting to hate it.

What a bigAs a huge fan not only of the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but also of the portrayals given by Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett, I saw Sherlock. And to be honest, and I don't know why, but I was expecting to hate it.

What a big surprise! Sherlock was surprisingly brilliant, and made my week when it was on. (I said the same thing about Luther too by the way) Why did I love it? Well, it was fresh and exciting not to mention hugely entertaining. Though I have to agree I wished there was more and I hope there is more in the future.

Visually, Sherlock scores highly. The photography is skillful, the sets are lovely and the costumes are beautifully tailored. The music is another strong asset, not just the clever main theme but the haunting and beautiful background music too. I found the stories very engaging, with a nice balance of humour, mystery and adventure, with the reveal of Moriaty both "campy" and chilling and each episode moving very briskly, and the writing is top notch being humorous and intriguing.

The direction is rock solid as well, and the characters are still very likable. Holmes is still charismatic and intelligent, and Watson authoritative and charming. The acting is very well done too, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman perfect as Holmes and Watson and Rupert Graves great as Lestrade. And while some may disagree, I personally had little problem with Mark Gatiss writing himself as Mycroft.

In conclusion, hugely entertaining and fun take on the great literary detective, and I think it is a must even if you like the stories or not. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

season 1-3 is honestly like an 11? season 4 might drop down to a 7/10, but even the worst episode was still semi enganging, and s4e2 was insane, top tier in my opinion. truly a masterpiece.

Brilliant; absolutely brilliant. What's interesting about this modern Sherlock is that it doesn't only showcase his intellectual and mystery-solving abilities, but explores a human side of him, exposing a vulnerability present in the best of us.

It's really good, it always makes you a wrong corner, every episode explains the previous episode and you get confused, come on, you do it dear or something.

I was a bit skeptical about the idea of mixing such a classic story with the modern world, but I can say without a doubt that this risky idea was executed brilliantly.

Uma série incrível e muito bem feita e elaborada. Uma pena que ao decorrer das temporadas, foi focando mais nas relações humanas e perdendo um pouco da essência do que aprendemos a amar no começo.

Sherlock solves cases based off nothing and acts like a complete jerk all the time. His sidekick, Watson, does nothing to propel the story forward (outside the pilot episode) and is totally devoid of a personality. Plots on an episode to episode basis are outlandish featuring things like ninjas and wannabe joker knock-offs. The only thing the show has going for it is some of the dialogue is well-written and the cinematography is solid.… Expand
