Apr 4, 2019 | Full Review… Alyssa Rosenberg The Atlantic Top Critic This irrepressibly ingenious show had me enraptured from the get-go. Mar 28, 2014 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Andrew Williams Quickflix Top Critic A strange, fascinating, and sometimes brilliant contemporary take on the father of forensic crime-solving. Oct 24, 2010 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic "Sherlock" is the rare classic drama that not only survives being dressed up with a new suit, but looks darn good in it. Oct 24, 2010 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Quite a remarkable feat here - they've created something unique and pleasurable where so many have trod before. Oct 24, 2010 | Rating: A | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic All right, the dangling ending was corny, Moriarty unveiled was just silly and I could do without the nudge-nudge hints of gay goings-on, but Gatiss's finale was spectacular, and he makes a horribly creepy Mycroft to boot. Sep 10, 2018 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic The cleverness of the writing, the charm of Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson, the wit of the visuals, the sheer all-encompassing magnificence of it... Everything about it is perfect. Even the score is amazing. Apr 8, 2019 | Full Review… MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher The expert sleuthing remains, but everything else about this three-part series has been stylishly updated to produce a fun, smart and entertaining drama. Apr 4, 2019 | Full Review… Melissa Crawley The Patriot Ledger Although the Sherlock plots can't beat Conan Doyle's works (and whose could?), they are impressive, inventive, baffling, exciting, and engrossing. Apr 4, 2019 | Full Review… Emily S. Mendel culturevulture.net Arthur Conan Doyle's classic series has been retold countless times, so it's impressive that this latest version actually feels fresh. Apr 4, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Elka Karl Common Sense Media Life with Holmes allows Watson to reexperience some of the exhilaration of battle. Their deepening friendship is beautifully delineated. Nov 26, 2018 | Full Review… Michael Dirda The New York Review of Books It's shaping up to be one of the TV drama events of the year.

The episodes are riveting and easily sustain their running times. A very enjoyable watch, especially for fans of previous TV Sherlock Holmes or Doctor Who. Richard G Jun 30, 2020 Es ist ein perfektes Meisterwerk. It's a perfect masterpiece. Tom A Jun 03, 2020 A brilliant introduction to the characters. A good start with a wonderful mystery. The entertainment in this show is always really high. I think that the weakest episode also deserves 5 Stars. I can't complain. Beni Z May 11, 2020 Unique Extraordinary masterpiece!whole season was amazing as hell its an great way to start the adventures of Sherlock right from 1st episode it was Great the music was phenomenal,story was fast-paced loved the brother thing,Moriarty and taxi thing hated 2nd one lotus and gang thing.the investigation and cases were extraordinary and amazing.and God that final episode was surprisingly suspenseful and shocking specially ending with cliff hanger.the whole bomber and side cases were entertaining and clever.Overall amazing start season it was entertaining Unique Masterpiece! Diptanshu G May 02, 2020 A great season of television. The mysteries were intriguing and I loved the Study in Pink. It broke away from the usual Sherlock Holmes story and changed it into a modern story. Asa S Apr 16, 2020 مسلسل من الثمانينات مقتبس عن مجموعة شيرلوك هولمز القصصية لسير آرثر كونان دويل بدون إضافات. Shady A Apr 10, 2020 Brilliant performance, suspenseful, and well written. What else can I ask for for. Amir D Apr 07, 2020 It's pretty good... I would go so far as to say better than Elementary, whose characters are better fleshed out. The formatting is weird - a season is basically like 4 or 5 90 minute short movies, so you never spend enough time with the characters. I would say all the episodes made from 2010-2017 would make up 2 seasons tops for most other shows. The characterizations are pretty solid, it is well acted. The leads are likable. The first couple of seasons are fairly strong and cover familiar Sherlock Holmes mythology. Towards the end, and especially season 4, it just went off and got weird and uncomfortable to watch... I would definitely rate season 4 as the worst season. Less sleuthing and more Twilight Kirsten Stewart drama. ick. cork b Feb 05, 2020 This is the best show ever!
