Also recently added to NetFlix is the BBC/Masterpiece Theater production of an updated to current times version of Holmes and Watson, with Watson as a wounded Afghanistan vet. Holmes uses nicotine patches to aid his thinking: “It’s impossible to maintain a proper smoking habit in London these days.” My wife and I watched the three episodes on NF last week. There will eventually be a total of six episodes available and imdb.com says another season is coming.
