DCI B @DCI_Benway Feb 28 From Jonny Lee Miller's profoundly unlikable portrayal of Sherlock to Lucy Lui's fashion show of wearing endless mini-skirts and high heels to every crime scene, to the very atmosphere of the show with both main characters looking bored and disinterested in every scene, to the trove of pointless side characters they keep bringing in to drag out screentime (I'm looking at you Alfredo and the myriad of dating apps and potential boyfriends for Lucy Lui). A show where nearly every guest star far outshines the two main cast members. There is just so much wrong with this show I'm mystified it got as many seasons as it did. Evidently its target audience where not Sherlock Holmes fans but consumers of thoughtless TV drama about an angry main character with a pretty blow-up doll sidekick and a new cookie-cutter plot every week to keep you from having to think too much. All this wore painfully thin quickly. If you're interested in quality Sherlock, just watch BBC's Sherlock Holmes instead.

Miller's Holmes nicely treads the line between charming and asshole, helped along by a superb Lucy Liu who forms the core emotional heart of the show. It's not particularly deep but also, unlike say BBC's Sherlock, it knows what it is and it does that superbly well. Definitely worth a watch.

Now in 2025 I just finished season 1 and I couldn't be more impressed. Really good writing extremely good acting And some excellent unexpected twists that should not be spoiled here with details. Well done Sherlock, well done Watson. See more Theo S. Hero S @RT09212872 11/14/2024 I'm super late on this one. Found it on a bored evening, never knew the show existed as I don't watch network tv... this is one of the best TV shows I've seen (now on amazon) in a long time. The characters are great, stay in their lane and are very good actors. I normally dislike the 'no it all' but the Sherlock character is so weird, humorous and entertaining. I enjoy Lucy in this drama also. I'm 18 episodes deep and can now say I know what binge-watching feels like!

Brilhante quem criou essa série com todos os detalhes de crimes a serem investigados pela "ciência da dedução". See more Read all reviews
