Sigh...the trials we Holmsiacs have to bear!! :P

Finally, I can read this thread!
Lynne and I watched 'A Study in Pink' the other night together, courtesy of Netflix, on my laptop, on our respective laps, as the sound was very soft.
Wow! Brilliant!
I had read 'Hound of the Baskervilles' ages ago as a kid, and enjoyed the film with Basil Rathbone. But, otherwise not a ACD fan. I tried to watch the Downey-Law bromance, but found it insufferable, and had to turn it off after 30 minutes.
This version caught me from the very beginning. Lynne too.
Mr. Cumberbatch's Sherlock is physically interesting: very pale, very dark, crystalline eyes; brilliance and insecurity portrayed perfectly.
Mr. Freeeman's Watson is an excellent foil: smart, needy, complex, all portrayed understatedly. The 'not my date' patter is fantastic.
I watched the second episode last night, and am saddened to understand they only made three!
London looks terrific--even with the 'blurred' effects.
southendmd:
The dialogue is faster than any episode of 'The West Wing'! I may have to watch them again.
BTW, I loved seeing Rupert Graves again. (Freddy from 'A Room with a View' and Scudder from 'Maurice'.) (We're the same age. :P)

I hope they will make more, it was brilliant. 8)
