    This review is from: Sherlock Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
    That was great! I think, of all the Sherlock Holmes' adaptations and movies that I've seen, this one is the most loyal to the original. And it takes place in the present day. One of the things I loved in this one is that it follows Sir Arthur's practice of making London a character. But I digress.

    The leads are fantastic, Benedict Cumberbatch is a great choice for Holmes. He adopts all of Holmes' mannersisms from the books and stories and he makes them work. Martin Freeman is great as Watson as well. He, like the original, is intelligent, practical, and the perfect foil for the sometimes myopic Holmes. I love the actors they've chosen for Mycroft and Moriarty as well. Especially Moriarty. How great was he? He was perfect. Brilliant and psychotic with widely varying moods and voices.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful adaptation, November 11, 2010

    This review is from: Sherlock Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
    I have been a Sherlock & Watson fan for many, many moons now and I like them all...mostly. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, Sir Ben Kingsley and Sir Michael Caine(one of the very funny ones), Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman, Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, even Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard. All of them well done in my opinion.

    This version is set in modern day London and I am thrilled to see the source material alive and well in this series. As of this writing I have only seen the first three but I have signed up for the season pass and am looking forward to many more episodes with these two new Holmes and Watson.

    Watch it for yourself and make up your own minds.
