I think this might be my favorite adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. I like that they show that his gift comes with a lot of downsides as well. Johnny Lee Miller plays his part perfectly, and Lucy Liu does such a phenomenal job of being a warm and supportive Watson, while also not only existing as a support to Sherlock. The way their relationship ebbs and flows throughout the series without ever making it romantic is really refreshing. They make the supporting characters dynamic and likable as well. You can see why it did so well when it was released.

Just finished watching it, don't know how I found it. It's got my crushes - Lucy Liu and Cillian Murphy, and their chemistry is off the charts.

finally got around to watching the original season last week and it's basically ALL I've been thinking about since. Incredible piece of television. Perfect casting. No one could make dialogue like that sing like McConaughey, and some of the greatest expressions ever recorded were made by Harrelson for this show.
I now have the overwhelming urge to go uncover a deep decades-old conspiracy. Let me know if anyone wants to form an uneasy but undeniably effective partnership that lasts longer than any romantic entanglement.

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life.
I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.
