Sherlock


The quirky spin on Conan Doyle's iconic sleuth pitches him as a "high-functioning sociopath" in modern-day London. Assisting him in his investigations: Afghanistan War vet John Watson, who's introduced to Holmes by a mutual acquaintance.
I love the Sherlock series. As with all TV series, some episodes are better than others in my opinion, but overall it is a brilliant series, the highlight of which is, without doubt, "The Reichenbach Fall", the final episode in Series 3. To start with, I was a bit confused with the three-episode-per-series format, each of which is 1 hour and 30 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes in other shows like Doctor Who, but I soon adjusted and I actually like the format immensely as each episode is like a little movie, and has much more time to develop the plot in than an ordinary series. In conclusion, I think that Steven Moffat has done an excellent job reviving a classic series of novels and short stories and modernising them with powerful actors such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
