Sherlock

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I have watched all of House, but I didn't think it was terrific. However, his character was pretty good. 

 

As for this Sherlock, it's probably my favourite TV/Film version. Think Cumberbatch is superb at it. So we're probably not going to agree on these things!

I've never seen Johnny Lee Millar and Lucy Liu in the Yankee-fied Elementary, and it's probably for the best ! Think I'll keep it that way eh ?

Please watch, I'd love to hear your opinion on their Moriarty

Not a chance mate.

 

Btw, love your avi, fucking great band and album (and terrorist).

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Please watch, I'd love to hear your opinion on their Moriarty

 

Too much for me to take, that was. 

[PestiRed]

Too much for me to take, that was.

 

I will say that it genuinely surprised me which could be seen as a positive in a mystery series

 

CD - you can never have enough Black Grape

Please watch, I'd love to hear your opinion on their Moriarty

 

The Moriarty in both versions were terrible.

 

This is a great programme, it's not really made any promises to be faithful to the books CD and has always been a totally new take on them. Like I said earlier in the thread, I love the books and have read them many times, but I don't give them a second thought when I'm watching this. It's a reinvention of the character.

 

I'm quite happy with last nights episode. It was a welcome diversion from the previous episodes in my view and no TV programme should be afraid to try something a bit different. Last night explored a different side of Holmes and they let the main leads inject a bit of levity into matters. It worked, in my opinion, Freeman especially has great comic timing.

I actually said 'oh just fuck off'.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

The Moriarty in both versions were terrible.

 

Even in the uk one? I thought he was good actually.

[Sugar Ape]

Even in the uk one? I thought he was good actually.

 

Yeah, I thought he was worse than the one in Elementary, and that's saying something. A real weak link on the show.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Whad the fark! I thought he was one of the best parts of this version. Second only to Sherlock.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Even in the uk one? I thought he was good actually.

 

The evil criminal overlord who had to be home by bedtime ? Nah, he was awful again mate. Hopeless bit of casting again, about as menacing as Rice Krispies.

 

Aye, aye...

 

 

...things are on the up and up.

 

Fit as fuck and WWAP, love her in Game of Thrones but this is PC gone MAD.

 

What would Inspector Monkfish have to say I wonder ?

[Sugar Ape]

There have been a lot of great characters in this, he wasn't one of them. Badly miscast I thought.

[Carvalho Diablo]

There have been a lot of great characters in this, he wasn't one of them. Badly miscast I thought.

 

You can't be on about Monkfish, surely ?

[Champ]

No no. He had no physical presence and no real aura of menace about him. He was just a bit creepy

[PestiRed]

I liked the story around Moriarty in the UK but his voice grated on me

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

There have been a lot of great characters in this, he wasn't one of them. Badly miscast I thought.

 

I think the one that gets me is Mycroft.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I think the one that gets me is Mycroft.

 

And his brother.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Nope, he's far better than that boring cunt Ethel O'Doyle wrote about in the original comics.

[Sugar Ape]

You can't be on about Monkfish, surely ?

 

 

I think the one that gets me is Mycroft.

 

I lilke him, no doubt influenced by me liking Gattiss right back to his League of gentleman days.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I think Gatiss looks the part - perfect, actually - but I just wish the way he was written made him seem far sharper. Sharper, but lazier, than Sherlock.

[Kevin D]

I turned the first episode off after 45 minutes, as I thought it was crap, but I really enjoyed the second episode, I think it was the best episode since the pilot.

[Stu Monty]

Sorry but some of the criticism in this thread is just nonsense.

 

Inspector Monkfish was not miscast!

[Sugar Ape]

Carvalho Diablo is sitting in front of the TV now sharpening his knives in anticipation.

[Champ]

Did no-one watch it then? I really enjoyed it and showed that there was a purpose to the lightness of last weeks episode. And the promise of more to come

[ZonkoVille77]

Excellent again tonight. Plenty of twists which was great.

I'm just a bit miffed with Sherlock doing what he did at the end instead of outsmarting him. Top quality tv though
