Based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock is a British crime drama that presents the novelist's work in a more modern fashion. Much like a lot of people may be, I too am a huge fan of this fictional character and his brilliantly mind-blowing deductive abilities and honestly, the creators of the show have definitely captured the essence wonderfully.
All the stories written for the episodes are very well played out, and the plots had me hooked from the start. As the seasons progressed, each plot was better than the previous but admittedly, the first two seasons were a little but more gripping than the third instalment. Additionally, the casting is also quite spot on and I couldn't have asked for better actors to have portrayed the roles of Holmes, Watson and Moriarty as they seemed to be entirely immersed with their characters.
Unlike the movie adaptions starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, the television version captures the original, unique features of the characters as it is in the books and that's what made me the most excited in particular. The way the creators have managed to transfer the atmosphere in the books to something in accordance to the modern age, combined with the suspense-filled mysteries, gives the show that edge that is very much it's own and twisted from others of it's kind. I cannot wait for the fourth season, which is set to air in 2016.
Happy binge-watching!
