Sherlock was brilliant. Why has nobody thought of doing that with text messages before? Inspired. I love how the set at 221B Baker Street looks like a thirties refit of the set from the Granada series.
Only false note for me (and it was a very slight false note, barely a semi-tone) was the too-whimsical Mycroft, who seemed to have stepped out of an episode of The Avengers. But otherwise - yes, more of that, thank you very much. I request that telly be like this more of the time, otherwise I'll have to go back to my West Wing uber-mega-marathon.
Upon which subject: Jed Bartlet is such an arse.

Actually, must blog about this myself.

Date: 2010-07-26 01:05 pm (UTC)Jekyll was a mess, IMHO. It seemed to me that someone, halfway through, realised that the script was saying, "My creativity would reach the levels of genius if it were not for the women around me!" - which they then tried to turn round, but didn't have time to do properly.
