When this first came out I was all over it like the Doctor to some daleks. In fact I remember paying only $15 for the first and second season on DVD. My family and I used to joke that one day we would end up paying over $100 dollars for the DV Ds one day. When we waited for the 3rd season I went online and found the second season selling for $50!!! I can truly say that for once my family and I were ahead of the cuvre. This series was the reason I got into T.V Tropes in the first place and werw I found the evil overlord list. That being said, it should go without saying that this is a biased review. I love the series and the wait for season 3 was almost unbearable. This is me we're talking about, for all intents and purposes I was living with only Mythbusters and then ocasional youtube broadcast(or is it update?). That is how griping the series is. I can only name 3 tv big actors Morgan Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Martin Freeman. The last two stared off on sherlock, and their acting is phenomenal. The plots are interesting and you can never tell how it ends, the humor is funy and relatable and you get to watch as Both characters grow. It porovides good action but the focus is on smart almost genius level writing, and they took me by suprise by giving Waston as big a role as Sherlock himself. It all depends on whether you see stuff for action or smart writing that is, and, I mean extremely faithful to the original.One more thing this series, while suspensful, and dramatic, doesn't find itself in action packed scenes, much resembling the actual Conan Doyle Books. It doesn't need it though and that is perfect enough for me. Final count a rare 5 out of 5
