SHERLOCK - Am I the Only One Who Thinks It Is Wank?

Sherlock
with Benedicte Cumberbutch and Martin Freestin

A modern setting (London, 2013ish) for retelling the Sherlock Holmes stories,

It is one of the most popular TV shows in Britain and all the talk shows are full of celebs saying 'How wonderful' it is.

I think it is daft and wank.

Discuss.

so no shit for sherlock huh?

All he's giving is Sherlock some shit!

(For the record, I think it's much better than most of the recent retellings -- noticed a big influx in Sherlock related shows and movies in the past few years.)

Damn, NOE. I knew this was your thread before even looking.

Everything's kind of a wank in a way. Sending you some goji OG.

First series was pretty good, second was alright. But yeah, third was daft and wank.

lol.

I like a little realism
or, at least, the suspension of disbelief to temporarily make the impossible seem probable.

This SHERLOCK is too far fetched fantastical for my tastes.

2003 or 2004
There was a one off with Rupert Everett as Sherlock and Ian Hart as Watson.
I loved it!
He was injecting coke and smoking opium.
The crimes he investigated were dark, sexually motivated offences.
Best I've ever seen.....

No one seems to have seen it!
