Sherlock - Season 1
Sherlock Holmes was always a modern man - its the world that got old. Co-created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock is back as he should be: edgy, contemporary, difficult and dangerous. Sherlock can tell a software designer by his tie or an airline pilot by his thumb, he has a unique analytical brain unlike anyone else in the world and has found the best way to stave off boredom is by solving crimes. When a chance encounter brings soldier John Watson into Sherlock';;;s life, it';;;s apparent the two men couldn';;;t be more different, but Sherlock';;;s intellect coupled with John';;;s pragmatism soon forges an unbreakable alliance as they investigate a series of baffling cases together.

This is superior sleuth TV.October 24, 2010

This irrepressibly ingenious show had me enraptured from the get-go.October 24, 2010
Has a zippy energy that can be attributed to the writing and Mr. Cumberbatch's riveting, gonzo performance.October 24, 2010

The change is less disquieting than you might think, as Holmes and Watson have always been thoroughly modern men.February 17, 2017
Sherlock worked because it was having fun. It also let down the po-faced pretence that the suffocating abundance of TV detective shows often labour under: that the detective actually cares about the victims.
