Sherlock


V:  All we have so far are three movie-length episodes.  It is Sherlock Holmes (going by the name of Sherlock Holmes) with his friend John Watson, but set in modern-day London.  Interesting and well-done! We also get to meet Moriarti at the end of the third episode - who is sufficiently creepy/effeminate.  Good sleuthing fun. 3 1/2 stars.

M.  Fantastic.  Each season is only three episodes, but each episode is essentially a short movie.  In both seasons, the first episode is great, the second is not as good, and the third will blow you away.  You can almost skip the second episodes, I don't know why.  But, the third episodes are truly aw some, and, for my money, the third episode of the second season may be the best thing I have seen on television.  This is an absolute must see.  4 stars.

l.o.v.e Sherlock! So glad Mike and Jenny put us on to it. Season 3 was as good as the other two. Wish there were 12 full movie length episodes and they showed one a month!
