"Sherlock" (Tv Series Critique) #Spoilers #II (II-Irrelevant Information)

 
Many of my friends have recommended me to watch "Sherlock", as they say I would really like it...

They weren't wrong!

Sherlock is a television series representing a modern story of Sherlock Holmes, each season has three 90 minutes episodes and every one of the episode is inspired by one of Doyle's famous stories of the character.

After watching the first episode "A Study in Pink" I was hooked.
Sherlock is played by the wonderful Benedict Cumberbatch (#II- I regret that I only took notice of him after watching the new Star-Trek and not before, although I did recognize his face from other movies that I've seen like "war horse"), his portrayal of Sherlock is really interesting, he is sometimes childish especially when he converses with his brother Mycroft (#II- played by Mark Gattis), he is extremely smart and has an insane memory for a lot of small and insignificant details, he can read people by looking at the small details and of course he is very familiar with the modern technology and he uses it quite often. Watson is portrayed by Martin Freeman, who I very much love, he is quite funny. The modern Watson writes a blog on the investigations he and Sherlock do. he is quite the womanizer as opposed to Sherlock who seem to be not interested at all and doesn't understand the interest in women. Of course there are always Homosexual remarks and jokes about the relationship between the two characters.
I would also like to talk about ep. 2x01 "A Scandal in Belgravia", which is my favorite, there we encounter the character Irene Adler who in modern time is some dominatrix con woman who control many people by having information about them. the relationship between Irene and Adler is interesting, she is the only person he can't "read", she is almost his equal in wit and it seems that he is interested in her, he calls her The Woman maybe alluding to the fact that she is the woman for him.
Now I'm very much exited for the third season and I cant Wait for it to come.
