A New Sleuth for the 21st Century

In Sherlock Season One, the BBC presents a thrilling, contemporary twist on Arthur Conan Doyle's revered detective. Set in a London filled with cell phones and laptops, the new Sherlock Holmes is a high-functioning sociopath. His loyal companion, John Watson, is an army veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder. But the two still reside at 221 Baker Street, and somewhere out there, Moriarty is still waiting. Join Sherlock and Watson in this action-packed, modern-day mystery TV series as they navigate a maze of cryptic clues and lethal killers to uncover the truth.

Trivia

The memory technique (mind palace) used by Sherlock is real, dating back to ancient Rome.

To prepare for his role of Holmes, Cumberbatch read every original Conan Doyle story.

The Molly Hooper character was not part of the original Sherlock Holmes series and was meant to be a one-time appearance. However, Moffat and the other producers liked Louise Brealy’s performance so much that they decided to make the character a recurring role.

In the original stories, Dr. Watson had also served in the military in Afghanistan.

The exteriors of 221 Baker Street are actually shot at 187 North Gower Street in London.

From the creative minds of Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat

Description

Product Description

A contemporary take on the classic Arthur Conan Doyle stories, Sherlock is a thrilling, funny, fast-paced adventure series set in present-day London. Co-created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Coupling) and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock stars BAFTA-nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (Hawking, Amazing Grace) as the new Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman (The Office, Love Actually), as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson. Rupert Graves plays Inspector Lestrade. The iconic details from Conan Doyle's original books remain--they live at the same address, have the same names and, somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting for them. And so across three thrilling, scary, action-packed and highly modern-day adventures, Sherlock and John navigate a maze of cryptic clues and lethal killers to get at the truth.

Amazon.com

In the wake of Guy Ritchie's reimagining, the BBC puts its own stamp on Arthur Conan Doyle's sleuth--and sets him in a London filled with cell phones and laptops. In the pilot, director Paul McGuigan (a keen visual stylist) introduces Sherlock Holmes (Atonement's Benedict Cumberbatch) as a "high-functioning sociopath" and Dr. John Watson (The Office's Martin Freeman) as an army veteran with posttraumatic stress disorder. Through a mutual friend, the two become flatmates at 221B Baker Street (Una Stubbs plays their landlady). Holmes, who consults with Scotland Yard inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves) on his trickier cases, drafts Watson to assist him.

In "Study in Pink," four people commit suicide by poison. When Holmes sets out to establish a link, he falls right into the culprit's clutches. Other cases concern a smuggling operation ("The Blind Banker") and a mad bomber ("The Great Game"). Though he doesn't make a formal entrance until episode three, an infamous figure from Sherlock's future has a hand in each mystery, while the detective's brother, Mycroft (co-creator Mark Gatiss), first appears when he tries to hire Watson for a case of his own, an offer that gives the good doctor pause. Through his job at a medical office, Watson also meets Sarah (Zoe Telford), who becomes his girlfriend.

Part of the fun of Jeremy Brett's Holmes (and Agatha Christie's Poirot) came from the period details, so this update takes a little getting used to--as does the occasional mumbled line--but Cumberbatch and Freeman share an enjoyable Odd Couple rapport, marked by flashes of deadpan wit, which compensates for the absence of deerstalker caps (Holmes favors scarves) and journals (Watson maintains a website). Extras include commentary on the finale, the original pilot, and a featurette, in which cocreator Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) notes that Cumberbatch was his only choice for the title role. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Review

Tremendously clever fun, Masterpiece Mystery! presents the first of three modernizations of the Sherlock Holmes tales. --Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly

The result is a sharp, funny, clever series that remains faithful to the spirit of Doyle's stories while infusing them with a vibrant spirit of modernity. --Robert Bianco, USA Today

The stories are complex and contemporary, with references to a remembered past. But it's easy to forget the past--the present Sherlock, droll yet naive, is so wonderfully weird. --Nancy DeWolf Smith, Wall Street Journal

I run BluntReview's website and there's a full review there as well:
The BBC's three-movie resurrection of Sherlock Holmes has made a sort of thunder across the Atlantic. This brilliant update of Holmes will please aficionados, and, perhaps, make the Victorian-phobe electronics culture dip in.

Sherlock has a website, Watson a blog. Yet, Sir Conan Doyle's lads - and stories - have everything they need. There are even nods through out the films to the original stories. You can tell (feel) the creators love Holmes as much as his followers.

This DVD has the three films in what one hopes is a first season to be followed by many more. With the films, you get the pilot that got the producers the high-production-value nod from BBC, and a doc on how they went about updating Holmes and Watson for the 21st Century. They've properly de-fogged him, but added a bit of mystery, as you watch in wonder (if you know the works), how they've adapted the tales, and characters.

Study in Pink is the first film. The pilot on the DVD is Study in Pink as well - with uncanny Dr. Who music...hmm.TIP: Watch the pilot after the high-end production. In fact, I suggest viewing the three films then the doc, then the pilot. Layer the tastes!

As I was typing...SIP introduces us to Watson, and Holmes. Holmes is asked by Lestrade to help on an odd bit of suicides that have gripped Londontown. Folks without a worry (it seems) are committing suicide, in random places, in the very same manner - and they do not have any connections, that the police can find.Enter Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch). He's a tall, eccentric fellow who like to store severed heads, and whip cadavers in his spare time to further his deductive skills. This is just the sort of thing that gets him going.

Just as he's to jump into the investigation, an acquaintance has introduced him to Watson (Martin Freeman). They may share a central London flat - over at 221B Baker.

Faster then you can say "How are they gonna work in a deerstalker?" the duo take on a clever killer and Sherlock and Watson appear to have always been here - now. You may well read their web-thingies daily via RSS.

Next, comes The Blinded Banker. The way they've spun the tale - I think - of The Dancing Men to fit into the current era is magical. If it's not that update, it's still freakin' brilliant; all ciphers and foreign drug smugglers. Watson gets a gal pal, and Sherlock manipulates another.

This one's very much going to thrill mystery viewers of any sorts. There's just a mélange of parts that puff up into a hearty stew of viewing; rich and robust.

Finally there is The Great Game. Ah, missing treaty papers do smoothly reshape into missile plans, sadly. War is the same in any century.

We get to meet Mycroft (Mark "co-creator" Gatiss) and Moriaty (whose name I confess I couldn't catch within the speeding credits - sorry sir. It's the season's cliff hanger and it should leave you sufficiently stunned - and praying there's another season to come!

The reason Sherlock works is two-fold really. The casting of Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch is spot on. It need to be. This is a bromance people take very seriously. The players need to be quite spectacular to work. They do, it does...

Freeman is known (here in USA at least) for comedy delivered with that subtle British "thing" they do...Freeman's got that everyman look that director's love. But, he works his face like a concert pianist (immediately order the under-loved, absolutely hilarious, "The Robinsons" for a visual lecture on acting with the face). Little remarks wash across, and the watcher can read his character's soul. The man's amazing frankly.

Not too shabby is the lad beside him either. Benedict Cumberbatch, for all his manly looks, can not escape his deep DNA. He looks as though he's walked off a fox hunt, bullied the stable keeper and could do those fancy ball dances so "in" back in 1890. Hell, even his name is a tad pompous. That said, he is scruffed up a bit here (really just the hair) and is perfect for the eccentric genius.

The two have a chemistry that is rarely found proper these days. And, they are both swell on the eyes. Not Guy Ritchie's ass-biting version, which had the beautiful Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr., swell, but the man-loving among us will get it...

Then there's the two who bring us the update themselves....Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. They are clever Dr. Who sorts to begin with. But, honestly, they've pulled off a remarkable feat here. Sherlock is like a sacred character to many of us. There's an assumed brilliance, mixed with a bit of arrogance. Mix the two improperly, and you've got a jerk. The team behind this project mixed like mixologists at a contest for the best bar tenders of the world. The result is a cocktail of awe.

Then there's the London they've placed Watson and Sherlock in. It's 100% now. And they use the now in everyway. At each moment you know, this Sherlock is part of the modern city, and the modern technology. He uses the apps on his phone to assist him, the way a consulting detective would...

Even the theme and ambience music is worthy!

Snack recommendation: Chinese Take Away; to be including, lotus scented rice, and tea from 500 year old clay pots please. Splurge a bit.

Let me begin with a confession: I was not entirely "okay" with the idea of a modern version of one of the most beloved literary characters of all time...until I saw the first episode of Series 3 on whro several weeks ago.

Of course, like any rational Sherlockian I immediately purchased Series/Season 1 and waited anxiously for its arrival.

There have been by far too many plot summaries, and delightful as they are, they do get tedious and repetitive after a time so instead i'll do a 'Character Portrayal' thing. Starting with The Master—

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH AS SHERLOCK HOLMES: I was quite impressed. He is a brilliant actor; quite handsome in that interesting, original way that—I feel—is nessecary to pull off Sherlock, and he does—pull it off. Brilliantly! His Sherlock is wonderful, a self described "High-Functioning Sociopath" with a rapier-sharp mind and an even faster tongue; the man delivers the famous Sherlock monologues in a rapid, lyrical staccato—VERY fast! He also is quite in touch with the quirks and vices of Sherlock: randomly firing his pistol at the wall because he's bored, plucking despondently at the strings of his violin whenever the mood strikes him, abusing drugs, silently staring blankly into space while he thinks, dashing off in the middle of a sentence with no explanation, not eating for days on end, not sleeping—all of Sherlock's classic habits. I highly commend both Benedict and the writers for bringing Sherlock Holmes to life again in the modern world. Bravo!

MARTIN FREEMAN AS DR. JOHN WATSON: An intriguing interpretation. Watson is a war veteran who misses the danger of combat and the thrill of the chase. He is the only man who could possibly be Sherlock's flatmate—simply because no one else could tolerate him. But Watson thrills in the excitement, even if Sherlock sometimes drives him to his breaking point. When they meet, Watson is recovering from an injury—there are a few fun nods to the original stories where Watson never can seem to decide where his wound actually was!—and looking for a flatmate. Martin Freeman is an excellent Watson; his acting is top-notch and his portrayal wonderful. His Watson is both amazed by Sherlock's extraordinary mental powers and at the same time bewildered by Sherlock's lack of common knowledge and social skills. He can't help being frustrated with Sherlock at times, for all the obvious reasons, but Martin Freeman treads the fine line between nagging and extreme tolerance with grace. Wonderful.

MRS. HUDSON: Mrs. Hudson has perhaps undergone the greatest change from the original stories, usually a rarely seen character with seemingly no past, future, or family; this Mrs. Hudson is introduced as a woman whose past relationship with Sherlock is that of a former client. He ensured her husband was executed, and so owes him a favor. This Mrs. Hudson is rather spacy, is always popping in and out with a tea tray and despairing at the mess 'her boys' have made. She is less of a landlady and housekeeper and more of a mother-figure for Sherlock and Watson.

DETECTIVE INSPECTOR LESTRADE: Classic Lestrade. Basically competent; resents the fact that he needs Sherlock's help, while at the same time admiring him—though he'd die before admitting it. It's interesting to see the relationship between Sherlock and Lestrade; they bicker like two pageant girls most of the time, but it is evident there's something akin to grudging mutual respect between them.

MYCROFT HOLMES: Excellent job. Mycroft is the very mysterious elder—and smarter—brother of Sherlock. He practically is the British government, and seems to have a hand in every secret agency you've ever heard of, and no doubt some you haven't. He's a delightfully odd, never-leaves-the-office-but-happy-to-do-the-brainwork type and the sibling rivalry between him and Sherlock is hysterical; they're always trying to outdo one another, while at the same time pretending the other doesn't exist. It's quite funny. The repeated jokes about Mycroft's weight are an amusing throwback to the original stories where Mycroft is quite rotund.

MORIARTY: He scares me. He really does. Others have said he yells and carries on too much...but I find him terrifying. It's bone-chilling, and his picture should be in the dictionary under: criminally insane, demented, manipulative, psychopath with serious problems that absolutely no psychiatrist in the world could solve. An absolutely wonderful portrayal of Moriarty for which the actor deserves great applause(though it won't be coming from me, because I'd be too scared to be in the same room with him, even though i'm sure he's a lovely person in real life).

All in all a wonderful show that masterfully transports the greatest detective of all time to our time. I am a fan.

Clever turns, witty dialogue - loved it. I am a big fan of all things Holmes but I don't like change. It took me a while to get used to Brett's over the top portrayal after Rathbone's rather crisp Holmes, but he was so droll and on point how could you not love it! I sat down prepared to completely hate this new take but after an hour - hooked all over again! Cumberbatch's face when he has an ephipany is priceless. His chemistry with Martin Freeman is solid and believable and this show would be worthless without it. Finally a Dr. Watson I can enjoy. The others were dreary.

I think that the Holmes from the original stories *is* a diva, *is* rather a spoiled brat, but someone who operates on a far different level the most folks so it's merely very exasperating. He needs a sane and wry Dr Watson to keep him tethered to the real world, grounded in whatever century that world and its sun happen to turn in.

I loved the first episode, Study in Pink, but not the Blind Banker. I watched it several times but there were many "and ok yeah but what was that supposed to mean" on my side of the screen. And it's not an Brit/American translation problem, it's a plot thing. Doubtless more erudite people then myself will state it more clearly.

The last episode, The Great Game made up for it all. And how. The last 15 minutes had me literally yelling NO WAY! Moriarty saying "I will burn the heart out of you" was just so perfectly evil. He's wonderfully nasty in this series. I can't get enough Mycroft either, isn't he perfect? Too much fun indeed. It's been a long time since anything on TV has involved me that much.

I do love how they throw many bits of the stories in where you don't expect it, like "Rache" and the Vermeer painting, really added to the fun for me.

You know, sure, it's got holes and flaws (and the best Dr. Watson and Mycroft EVER) but you know what? When you watch anything like this, you have to suspend disbelief for a bit and just have fun. I surely did and I can't ask more then that.

Addendum: I just received the DVD and had a Festival of Sherlock. Watched it all from end to end :). The pilot included is a great take on Study in Pink but the 90 minute version is far superior. Still, it's lots of fun. I just love that cabbie! I am assuming I have the full BBC version and not the PBS edits but I am not 100% sure. There's some included material on the Blind Banker especially that I wish hadn't been edited out. "The making of" episodes were enjoyable.

I am really glad I bought this DVD! I'm such a big Sherlock Holmes fan and this adaptation is just wonderful.

So what would happen if you a.) updated Sherlock Holmes to the 21st century and b.) threw in excellent writing and production values? Well, I suppose the brief answer is that you'd get something like this series. (This is ONLY a review of Season 1, btw... it really isn't fair to give away Season 2 spoilers when we're *supposed* to be reviewing just one season!)

The real delight is in the way that original canon is updated, twisted around, and expanded. If you've read the originals, you'll know what carries over into *Study In Pink", for example. (Updating Watson's gold watch to a cell phone being especially clever.) As for the character... I've worked a lot with PTSD/dissociative folks, and yes, with ASPD'ers, so that informs my understanding of what's happened with the characters. Watson's character really has to be based on the most accurate analysis I've ever seen, and it's all in the original canon. We can clearly see by reading *Study in Scarlet* that he did indeed have pretty severe PTSD (called "battle fatigue" or "shell shock" at the time. Okay, I don't know if the latter term was really in use before WWI.) And this take on the character goes a long way towards explaining why a war vet who supposedly only wanted peace and quiet ended up working with SH. Nothing will haunt those with PTSD as much as missing what caused the trauma in the first place, and that's made very clear here.

But I will say that SH's character isn't really quite what it is in canon. The original was motivated by a profound love of justice in the abstract, and you will NOT find that in the update. Also, although canon SH found it utterly impossible to express his emotions-- yes, even by Victorian standards, which is saying a lot-- he just wasn't at the low level we see here. For instance, I can't imagine the 21st century version ever saying that he wouldn't want his sister in Violet Hunter's situation in *Copper Beeches.* OTOH, he's definitely not a high-functioning sociopath, whatever he may say (and it's Antisocial Personality Disorder, btw, writers!@!!) I have worked with MANY of those, and they don't act that way. I would peg this SH as being much more likely to be on the far end of the severely dissociative spectrum, with a big extra helping of some Asberger's type thing.

So overall, watching this can be a very disturbing experience, PARTICULARLY if you are very familiar with the mental disorders being portrayed. I don't understand how anyone thought this was primarily "funny" or "appropriate for the whole family." (I guess it depends on what kind of family you're talking about...)But if you watch this, you'll never forget it. And there aren't many shows like that.

After Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie I was quite frankly getting sick of the Sherlock Holmes character and all of his incarnations (i.e. 'House' and any major CSI character). Now I don't like to be gushy over anything but not only have Doctor Who's Stephan Moffat and Mark Gatiss faithfully updated the Conan-Doyle characters to a fresh, modern day setting, BBC's Sherlock is by far the best TV series I've seen all year!

The show Sherlock (as I mentioned) updates the characters of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson, and Inspector Lestrade to a modern day London setting. This transition actually works better than I thought it would: Sherlock uses texting and computers to his advantage, Watson Blogs his stories but still WAS in the current Afghanistan conflict, they both use credit cards to pay for things etc. But aside from the technology the episodes play out in a very faithful and thrilling manner taking Sherlock and John (they're on a first name basis) all over England using Sherlock's deductive reasoning to solve complex and bizarre crimes. What's even better is all of the original characterizations are intact making Sherlock and John a fun duo who argue while trying to figure each other out.

The characters of course wouldn't work as well as if the actor didn't do such an exceptional job. Benedict Cumberbatch is immediatly acceptable as Holmes, and while probably won't make you forget Jeremy Brett or Basil Rathbone he's 100 percent believable and convincing as this modern man who despite his brilliant mind has a hard time understanding people. Martin Freeman is superb as John Watson, portraying someone haunted by his war injuries but sticking to his human principals and provides an empathetic personality to Holmes' sometimes cold methods. Rupert Graves is excellently cast as Inspector Lestrade, a dedicated cop who, despite his better judgment is willing to let Sherlock into an investigation if it means saving lives.

If there's one low point to this DVD set it's that the three 90 minute episodes included behave more like a trilogy of films than a TV series. The overarching plot is an exciting one but the middle episode 'The Blind Banker' feels like it takes a back seat to the first and final episodes. It's a solid episode and worth seeing, but just doesn't have the overarching energy of the other two.

The DVD set also includes a making-of, the original 60 minute 'Study in Pink' pilot and commentaries on the first and last episodes.

Like I said, Sherlock is easily my favorite show of 2010. It's got great characters, cunning mysteries, and thrilling action and chase scenes. Any mystery fan and especially Sherlock Holmes fan will want to check out the best incarnations of these characters to come out in the last 20 years!
