I’ve always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes… Read the books cover to cover half a dozen times or more, and I wouldn’t mind having another go right now.
Now a few weeks ago, I had read somewhere about this modern adaptation of SH that someone was doing… mini-series called “Sherlock”, and my first thought was, umm… well it was something on the lines of why people can’t let a good thing be.
Nevertheless, when the show did air, I couldn’t stop myself from giving it a chance — and by Jove, Watson! The game was afoot! As I went through the first two episodes, all my misgivings were thrust aside, and the creators of this brilliant, brilliant adaptation took me on a ride that I wasn’t going to forget in a hurry. The way they managed to blend the old with the new earned fervent applause from the Holmes fan within me. Each reference to the original works — words, characters, places, events — was skilfully woven into the story. The music, the cinematography… it was London like I had never seen it before. In a wonderful way, despite the modern setting, I found myself back in the old world of Victorian London, centered around 221B, Baker Street, with the fog and the street lights, the quintessential deerstalker cap, pipe
and so much more…
This past week, I found myself counting down the days till the 3rd (and sadly, final) episode would be aired. And now, having watched it, I’m happy and I’m sad. Happy to have had the privilege of watching this short but exceptional mini-series, and sad that it has, like all things, ended.
Some investigation has revealed that the show is now on hiatus. I pray with all my heart that it comes out of it alive and kicking, with more seasons and episodes. I’m aware of what they say about too much of a good thing, but well, I’m only human 
Kudos to Steven Moffat for giving us another memorable show (the other being Coupling), and a personal word to all SH fans to put aside their prejudices and go watch SHERLOCK!
Update: The show will return for another season Visit here for more details

Your words compel me to watch Sherlock . The simplicity in selection of words here is commendable.
