Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century is well made, fast paced and visually stunning (watch in HD if you can). The BBC adaptation of Sherlock returned to American television Sunday night with "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (streaming if you missed it http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/sherlock/) ___Sunday night 5/13/2012 at___ 8 pm EST *****

I seen the first season on Netflix they were very well done in my opinion and I am usually harsh with new shows

I’m a big fan of anything the BBC does and Sherlock is excellent. I’m in the middle of watching all the episodes as I type.

Unfortunately Holmes doesn’t pay well and Dr. Watson has to moonlight as a hobbit.

I don’t care for the homo insinuations.

Last night’s “final episode” (of which I missed the first part) was pretty interesting. It ended with Cumberbatch being willing to kill himself off and also allow a lie to be perpetuated that would ruin his reputation in order that his friends’ lives be spared. - Also, established that the character, Sherlock Holmes, would never really be killed off, but would always be able to mysteriously and miraculously return at any time with a perfectly logical explanation of the final scene. . and that, of course, the “unfeeling” Holmes would have NEVER surrendered to sentiment.

I still liked the “old” Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) mainly for the costumes, scenery, and low-tech stunts. IF future “Holmes” producers, directors and script writers can’t solve this latest mystery of the death of Sherlock sensibly, then, Cumberbatch’s Sherlock will, indeed, spell the actual death of Sherlock and any further episodes of “Sherlock”.

How very “Sherlock” of Sherlock! “Game on!!”
