(I read and re-read the master topic list, so if I somehow missed any Sherlock Holmes themed thread anywhere please delete this one)

Mmkay, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's heard of the new "Sherlock" Series, although I happened across it by chance, since I live under the proverbial rock, whilst listening to NPR (Yeah...)
The premise is more or less writers taking Sherlock Holmes and throwing him and Watson into 2010. Lo and Behold, we have "Sherlock."
The series is written by Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss, who have both had considerable experience adapting victorian style literature for TV, Moffat having written "Jekyll" and Gatiss having written "The Unquiet Dead," a Dr. Who episode. So, yeah, the series is pretty darn good, and the mysteries are brilliantly written.

Here's the fun part-
For all you HolmesWatson fans, it's more or less promenant (As it is in about... every piece of Sherlock related cinema or writing) and somewhat rampant throughout the series, form what I've noticed. Despite ep.2, it's there in spades.
It's a lot of funny little snide remarks and such, which makes SherlockWatson plausible, at least (And quite entertaining).
Anyone else agree? P:

I have heard of this series before as well. This pairing is one of my favorites because it is very funny when Sherlock saids something logical and has a different connotation to everyone else. Watson makes sure that no one gets the wrong idea but we all know what is going on. whee

We do have a Sherlock Holmes thread already, but I think a separate one for the BBC miniseries is appropriate considering how it differs from the original. I really enjoyed it, especially "The Great Game". The actors are amazing and the plot is brilliant, at least in my eyes! I can hardly wait for the next "season".

SUCH a beautiful series. Truly, it's so good.

I just can't handle how beautiful they are together.

Everyone who hasn't watched this show should watch this show.

I was watching the 3rd episode and the video player's time limit ran out while Sherlock was undressing John. ;_;

After watching episode one, I just knew this one had potential to be majorly slashed...just depends on the characters your wishing to ship.
