Pretty much everybody is familiar with the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Junior. I really like them a lot. I don't think that many people are aware of the Sherlock BBC series, however. I know that British television has kind of a reputation, but this series is fantastic! There are two seasons so far, each consisting of three episodes that are about 90 minutes each. What's fun about the series is that they adapted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels to fit in a modern setting. Where they could have turned out really cheesy, they are actually extremely well written and directed, and the acting is phenomenal. The actor who portrays Dr. Watson will play the part of Bilbo in Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies, and the actor who plays Sherlock Holmes will do the voice of Smaug, which is kind of funny, but they are both very talented.
The first season can currently be watched on Netflix, and it is out on DVD and BluRay. The second season just finished airing last week and is not yet available. Whether you're a fan of the novels or just someone who enjoys a good mystery/action movie, I highly recommend checking them out!
