I love the stories/books of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson - but I couldn't like these series.
Why would we need a "modern Sherlock Holmes"?? We already have a character named like that and he lives in 19 century, and it's a Classic one. A Legendary detective.
Why ruining it's glory with something modern crap like this??
I just cant accept seeing Sherlock working with modern gadgets and starring at flat TV screens. No and No. This isn't Sherlock, this is something else to me, I can't accept it.
It's equal to rewritten someone's book, changing only the time of events, and claim it's yours book. Fictional or not, Sherlock Holmes has it's own place and time, and leaving it there is the best you could do.
The scenario - Ugh.... Watching Cumberbatch solving these mysteries makes me feel hollow. The way he solves the riddles is just unimpressive, like a robot. Nothing to do with the original character.
Plus the acting of Mr. Benedict is not enough believable... He's unimpressive. He wouldn't be a good cast even for a 19th century Sherlock series, doesn't have the charisma.
If this show was about some other fictional character or about some modern age real detective on it's own story - then I'd probably enjoy watching it on TV.
But it's not. It's ruining the good name of the legendary character created by Arthur Conan Doyle, and that's what I can't accept.
Overall, to me this show is overrated and overhyped and doesn't deserve such a high score. (as of April 2024 = 9.1/10)
I can only give it 3/10.
