Still 5 Star Entertainment (Updated with quotes 8 Oct)
I may be repeating myself but it would be hard to go wrong with Sherlock Holmes as your base story but the writers have captured even more than the original with this series. The 2 main players Sherlock (played exceptionally well by Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (played just as well by Lucy Liu) just add depth to an already interesting story each week. This can be called a bromance, but one of the bros just happens to be a woman. He said that from the very beginning and I think it's really an apt description. There's this idea that a man and a woman can't be together on a show especially without needing to be together sexually or in love or whatever, and this is really about the evolution of a friendship and how that happens. Watching that should be as much the story of this show as the mysteries that you see week in and week out about who killed who. I just know that after a few episodes I was already addicted. The addition of Aidan Quinn as Captain Tobias Gregson of the New York City...
Perfection on TV
IMHO, there is not a better show on television. Jonny Lee Miller is absolute perfection as Sherlock Holmes. (That he did not receive an Emmy nomination makes a mockery of the Emmys.) Lucy Liu is almost his equal. I find the interaction between these two to be so unique in that, as much as I love their characters, I don't necessarily wish for their relationship to become romantic. Rather I am charmed by Holmes' growing respect for Watson's abilities. They are both highly intelligent individuals and the writers deserve kudos for such spirited and inventive dialogue.
Fantastic Series
This show is one of the best written, well acted shows out there. Its hard to imagine that the lead characters arent as full of wit and deductive reasoning in real life. Thats hard to fake. They really make it their own.
