This was a great concept; bringing a classic character into a modern era; and the Christmas special was just ingenious. Little detail is omitted and they even included the deerstalker; though it does look out of place (although Sherlock never admits to loathing it). It’s also good to see action scenes but few with Sherlock acting as an inhibitor. They’re shot as feature-length movies rather than full episodes, and you really do have to concentrate to see each part through. I was disappointed with the climax; it suddenly became very paternal. I’d be interested in seeing more, although it’ll be a bit harder now that Cumberbatch and Freeman have got a few Hollywood titles under their belt. They’d also have to devise a new villain and dig up some more of each character’s past as well, maybe even have Sherlock sent in as a negotiator. Now I’ve got to read the books to see if Doyle’s character was just as critical.
