Sherlock

I could become a fan of the new BBC Sherlock Holmes serial. And mind you, I am a lifelong Holmes fan who has demanding tastes in adaptations (I hate Jeremy Brett, for instance).

I found the movie shockingly enjoying, and I must say Jude Law made a much better Watson than *cough* certain other attempts, and RDJ even impressed me with his failure to be a chilly, self-collected, totally cerebral character...

...but I can't see his face without thinking of Iron Man. I suspect I have been brain-poisoned.

Incidentally, to the both of you: if you watch the story, there is a big clue as to the murderer - and the way the murder was done - in the first couple of minutes. And I shall be generous and give it to you: the second victim had drunk too much to be able to drive herself, yet she vanished from the place where she was supposed to be and was found in an empty lot. When you have seen the whole episode, you will go: 'YES!! THAT'S IT!!"

Now I really want to watch it! I honestly didn't know they were doing a new series... time to dig up friends with BBC access.

As I told elegant_bonfire, you could try the main BBC site and go on BBC Iplayer. That is how I have been watching it.

The BBC iPlayer is not an option outside of the UK. I've had to torrent it.

I was afraid that might be the case. I hope you get it soon, because it really is not bad (except for a poor and gimmicky motivation for the killer, certainly not comparable to the original Jefferson Hope) and if it goes on on this level it will certainly end up being a superior bit of fun.
