Just finished watching the first episode of this new series and really enjoyed it, Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson were excellent in their roles and am now looking forward to the next episode 

Sherlock

In complete agreement with you there. A great reinterpretation of the stories, though as with all recent BBC dramas, did you find the music just a bit too overpowering?

[spoiler]I will say I groaned when I though Mark Gatiss was Moriarty, they really pulled the wool over my eyes on that one. Also, how quickly did you work out it was a taxi driver?[/spoiler]

Bugger, I forgot about this. I'll catch it on Demand...

Honestly did not even notice the music  don't know if thats a good thing or not
[spoiler]Don't know why but i knew Mark Gatiss was Mycroft strait away, didn't work out it was the taxi driver until just before the chase  [/spoiler]

Good, of course. It means the composer did such a good job supporting the film that image and musinc became one in your mind. Bad music sticks out like a sore thumb and takes you out of the film.

I really liked it. My first instinct was to say "a policeman" but when I saw the cab I knew it was him. What I didn't understand was Sherlock's reasoning why it would be the passenger and not the cabbie unless it's not unusual to share cabs in London...

We may have a new Dr. Watson and Bilbo Baggins.

Production on series 3 has been postponed for several months because of The Hobbit (both Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are in the movie).

I would have preferred Series 3 of Sherlock.

BTW: any news on Luther: Series 3?

Series 3 of Luther will be four episodes and starts filming in December.

You really just want to know how tht cliffhanger turned out

I m not sure though. I really want The Hobbit too, but not sure if that really needs three movies. Never read the book, but I know it's much shorter than the others. Let's hope Jackson didn't bite off more than he can chew.

I knew Freeman was in Hobbit...I didn't realize the other guy was too.

I have 2 of the new Sherlock episodes on my DVR...I missed the first one...grr...still have to watch them.  Sure I'll end up getting the second season on DVD or Blu at some point.

The cases are pretty much self contained each time, but there is somewhat of an overall ark to each season/series. So maybe you'll want to get hod of episode 1 before watching 2 and 3.

I did think of that...probably part of why I haven't watched them yet.  I loved the first series, so I'm sure I'll get this one too.

Series 3 starts filming next week with plans to air over Christmas.
