OP here I am using internet explorer btw sorry if I'm a bit late
made me smile
First 2 series were decent
You are British
I am; I assume you're trying to make a point by this observation.
No shit, Sherlock
The first season was a real novelty.
I always have this stupid thing in my head where when they filmed Sherlock Cumberpatch would be a total sperg. Screaming in the way he did for his Smaug mo-cap stuff, proclaiming Martin Freeman (but calling him 'Free man of Martin') the he is the greatest actor to have ever lived, etc. and overall coming like a deranged nutcase butthole but everyone else is adoring of him and going like 'oh, he is so eccentric!' whilst Freeman is the straight man that responds to such a sperg like how a real person one and has this perpetual loathing brood whenever Cumberpatch is around being a moronic sperg and driven mad over he is the only when that can see this
He plays a rapist in atonement
It was refreshing and clever back in the 2000s(?)
based anon, i've always thought the Sherlock series felt both 5 years old and 30 years old simultaneously, even when new
women.
70% of internet warriors are gay.
it's 90% for Cinemaphile.
Getting praise by whom? Time travelers?
The first series was good, basically a film each week; the "intelligence=literal superpowers" shit didn't start cropping up until series 2 and didn't get silly until series 3, though in retrospect Moriarty acting like the Joker in final minutes of series 1 should have been a warning sign.
first 2 seasons were pretty entertaining. goes to shit very quickly in s3
>My prison was...LE TRICK OF THE LIGHT
This show found new and exciting ways of being hot garbage
Whenever I think about Elvis, I have to do an Elvis impersonation right then and there.
The episode where the woman walks in naked and he can't come up with any clues is hilariously bad.
>"Isn't that a little over the top, Sherlock?"
>"REEEEEE I am an investigator, Dr Watson"
I can't even remember if this is an edit or not. I do know it's not even as bad as some of the stuff in the later series
The Mind Palace stuff got really out of hand in Season 3. Here, the depiction is goofy but the concept is sound; it's just a visualization of a memory technique. In season 3 you have the antagonist literally control ALL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION because he...remembers everyone's dirty secrets, in his head. Without collecting any actual, tangible evidence to release because apparently that *isn't* smart?
>Sherlock is the smartest person alive
>But wait...his brother is SMARTER!
>BUT WAIT!!!!!! THEIR **SISTER** IS SMARTER THAN BOTH OF THEM COMBINED!!!!!
and what is exactly wrong with that?
SEE
Sherlock's intelligence is portrayed as borderline superhuman on this show. Mycroft being smarter is already a stretch.
I understand why intelligence is depicted in silly ways in the series, but even so, I will never understand why Moffatt decided "she's so smart that she can HYPNOTIZE YOU because... she's so smart!" without showing any actual manipulative tactics would be a good idea. Like if she had blackmail or picked up on the guard's insecurities it'd make some sense, at least, but it's literally a case of "if you're with her for a minute she can make you have a nice day without fail", it's fricking stupid.
>Power creep in Sherlock Holmes adaptation
Watson's wife was also smarter.
As the show goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that Sherlock only hangs out with people who aren't as smart as him to try to maintain the illusion that he's a super genius.
Fangirls, just because they wanted Sherlock and Holmes to frick like in their fanfictions.
Lel I mean Watson
No one has done Sherlock right.
I was happier then. I give out more praise when happy.
RDJ does Sherlock Holmes 3000000x better and i want the third movie
but nothing beats the old series
I remember talking with a guy who hated the Sherlock Holmes movies because "Sherlock isn't a fighter"
I've never seen a bigger filtering since.
yeah that didnt make sense, he was always a good boxer at least
agree
it was fun spectacle and interesting cause it was Moriarty, but there was no detective stuff or mystery as you say
The 2009 Sherlock Holmes was good but not the sequel. There was no mystery solving in it; the movie begins with Holmes explaining that he already solved the mystery and now let's go have bad action and chase sequences for 2 hours.
Jonathan Creek is a much better modern Sherlock Holmes adaption, at least in spirit.
Series 1 and 2 were pretty good, and marginally faithful to the original books. Cumbersnatch carried the role really well.
"Can I have the password to your phone, please?"
>"Sher"
>Only female who ever beat sherlock and outplayed him in a reasonable way because he underestimated her
>Show version - Actually she sucks my wiener and is naked and also loves me so much she ruined her entire plan also not even her plan Moriarty did it
Lmao why even use the same character
modern setting sucks
>dies
>comes back next season
>refuses to elaborate
>Makes fun of anyone who bothered making theories because they couldn't come up with anything
This has always been a problem of Moffat's - he doesn't know how to resolve his plots, so often he'll lean into the details not being revealed and paper it over with a statement by the characters that "HOW it happened was never the point". This can work in Doctor Who, but with a Sherlock Holmes adaption - which is fundamentally founded on rational explanation - it feels more insulting than anything else.
Moriarty
I remember thinking Moriarty was cool as hell when I watched Sherlock as a teenager. I watched his first scene again recently and it was embarrassingly terrible.
The guy who played Magnussen in series 3 or the cabbie in episode 1 would have both made better antagonists. Really, the cabbie from the first episode felt like the most realistic depiction of a criminal genius hiding in plain sight.
>the cabbie from the first episode felt like the most realistic depiction of a criminal genius hiding in plain sight
I thought that was Moriarty at first. What a let down.
