Paul B @OddBurton 2h I'm a fan of Guy Ritchie. This is an enjoyable watch and I especially liked the fact that the storyline is carried through the entire season rather than the typical one-off episodic crap. See more Jonathan B @RT42856975 9h Compared to the quick, intelligent wit of BBC Sherlock can't say this version is smart. Which is fine, Guy Ritchie is the British equivalent of Michael Bay, there is action and lavish scenery, but little depth. See more Diane J. @RT47043959 3d Great!!! Plenty of twists and great characters See more Jay W @RT52162311 Apr 21 I didn't realize how picky I am about my Sherlock Holmes adaptations until watching this. I thought that this would be an easy slam dunk. I like Sherlock Holmes, I like Guy Ritchie, I even enjoyed Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. And the casting, editing and production design on this show is all good. The story and characters are the problems. The show sets up a good hook. A mystery that implements Sherlock and he must prove his innocence and get to the bottom of who is behind it all. But then Sherlock gets distracted by a different case. In this second case, he doesn't think logically about decisions and instead becomes completely irrational. It all culminates in an unsatisfying whimper of a finale.

Some of the character arcs are a little unfaithful to the original work which I don't appreciate. I'm a fan of Guy Richie's work but this was a rare miss for me.

I read that streaming films are now constructed with the assumption that viewers watch while doing other things.Therefore, main plot points have to be repeated at least 2x per episode. 2 cons: By the 2nd ep,the darkness made the ep unwatchable. My 2nd con is the casting of Lestrade.Thanks for not making Sherlock’s brother an uggo;Moriarty has the charisma of a paper clip,but to not make Lestrade the adorable, sweet yet snarky,very sexy Lestrade of the Cumberbatch "Sherlock Holmes" is a crime against character development. B.C.’ Lestrade was one of the few people who dared to try to keep Sherlock in check.Plus,he was dreamy.Your Lestrade has the masculine energy of my grandma,who’s dead. Lighten yr scenes,recast Lestrade&I will use my mighty pen on social media to sing the praises of "Young Sherlock".It has such great potential. See more Read all reviews
