Sherlock

[Dougie Do'ins]

Just watched this on i player. Thought the ending was a bit weak but, other than that, much better than I expected. really looking forward to the next one.

I think it's actually a 3 parter Mick, rather than them being episodes in isolation, so that 'ending' last night was just the beginning of the introduction of Moriarty I'd say.

Not so much the very end Rob, but the bit how he discovers who's really behind our friend the killer. (without wanting to give it away for those to watch it yet)

 

Was wondering who'd play Hudson. Great bit of casting.

[hamstrung]

I thought it was surprisingly well written for a British drama. I don't think it was brilliantly cast, but it's not bad. Enough to warrant another watch next week.

 

Who in particular? I thought the two leads were very good.

 

The main copper was a bit dull (and off some advert I think) but everyone else worked well I thought.

Just watched it after festivalling this weekend. Still some of those annoying British drama traits, but otherwise pretty enjoyable. Will catch it next week.

I didn't particularly like Martin Freeman, I have to admit. Can't say that I'm all that knocked out with the ridiculously named 'Benedict Cumberbatch', either. That said, I think he was a much more suitable choice than Freeman.

 

I did like it, though. Better than most of the stuff that comes out of the UK.

[manwiththestick]

For a Sunday night BBC drama i thought it was very watchable. I like Freeman but he doesn't quite give the impression of a military man. Cumberbatch was okay, seems to be quite a good actor, remember him playing a good Stephen Hawking a while back.

[Carvalho Diablo]

In the press conference at the start, who was responsible for the mass texting of journo's ?

 

Mycroft ? Unlikely...

 

Holmes himself...very unlikely.

 

Moriarty ? Hmmm....

 

Just a loose end the BBC forgot about ?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Something I felt that was very unlike Holmes was where he didn't figure out it was the driver in the route/chase scene. He'd not have missed that in a million years.

Agreed...in fact I thought the guy who played Holmes was the weak link in the entire thing. He didn't appear extrovert at all to me, rather just a foppish cunt.

 

I quite enjoyed the contemporary twist though, very unusual and unexpected...I thought I'd turned the wrong channel on at first.

 

And, as ever, Morgan Freeman was ace.

He did 'white up' pretty well, it has to be said.

[Woo]

I was pleasantly suprised. Thought the guy who played Sherlock was really good, and Martin Freeman is a suprisingly decent actor when he plays a more serious character. First Luther, and now Sherlock, the BBC dramas of late have been a massive step up to the shite that's normally on.

 

Looking forward to the next one.

[hamstrung]

There you go. I thought both Cumberbun and Freeman were perfect for the roles.

He is ace isn't he? I loved the way he just didn't even show up in this and yet he was still ace. Mark of genius, that.

[mattyq]

Watched it last night on iplayer and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thought the Holmes character/actor was very good and Freeman did a good job with his slightly dishevelled veteran thing. The actual plot was a bit poor but as an intro was all good stuff

[aws]

 

"I deduce that he has been mauled to death by a large dog."

 

"No shit".

It was Holmes presumably watching on the telly or listening on the radio, the last text goes just to the copper and says something like 'call me, SH'

Aye, that's how I interpreted it aswell Secsh.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Gotta be said, Freeman is a brilliant actor.

 

He was fantastic in The Shawshank Redemption, Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and The Office

[Redder Lurtz]

AWS knows. Basil Rathbone fucking rules.

 

Enjoyed that though. Freeman was superb. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

The Hoxton Creeper

From 'The Pearl of Death'. Ace. One of my favourite Rathbone/Holmes fillums.

The Scarlet Claw is probably my favourite.

 

Always loved Rathbone and Bruce too.

Bang on. That's the best one for my money aswell. I liked The House of Fear also and Terror by Night.

So what's your opinion on Brett and Hardwicke mate ?
