Comments: After a very compelling debut episode ("A Study in Pink"), I was left underwhelmed by the first season of Sherlock for a few reasons. The main issue I had was that the show was produced so close to the theatrical version, and I'll admit to being more partial to Downey and Law. Secondly, with only three episodes, it's hard to get really become invested in the characters. That means we must rely on the cases, and "A Study in Pink" was the only story that stood out to me. I did love the actors chosen for the roles; Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Andrew Scott as Moriarty (even though he's only in the last episode) were inspired choices. And I can't forget to give love to Martin Freeman - Tim Canterbury will always have my respect.

Though I'm in possession of the second set of episodes from Sherlock, I may just wait until they're available on Netflix. I just can't find a TV show to really latch onto lately; hopefully that trend will end soon.
