So I’m a huge Sherlock fan – the show on BBC (and sometimes PBS).
What’s great about it is that it holds the integrity of Conan Doyle. They were timely when they were written, so why shouldn’t they be timely now? The films with RDJr are great – but of course set back in that Victorian time. The Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat BBC creation is set today, but with the same stories.
Just a few changes of course – instead of letters, Sherlock gets texts; instead of journaling, Watson blogs.
I really enjoy this interview with the geniuses behind the show:
