I really can't understand people who don't like Sherlock. It's one of the best written, best acted and finely produced programmes on British telly.
Sherlock Page 74
Agree 100%!
I do much prefer 'Elementary'; though.
I thought Elementary was awful. One episode was enough for me.
I haven't actually watched Elementary.
It's not started yet I don't think (on proper TV).

I agree with you on something 
Quote: Kenneth @ October 21 2012, 1:24 AM BSTIs it really crap? I bought Series 1 a few days ago, tried to watch the first episode and found myself turning it off near the start, when Holmes mimics McCaulay Culkin's Home Alone "Yes!" line, complete with air-fisting gesture. Does Holmes shoot up, as in the books? Or has that been cut in place of making him a prat?
He wrestles with smoking a cigarette, every now and again as their 'take' on the original material. Yes, the show is that imaginative.
It is full of arch moments like the air-fisting gesture. You won't be able to sit through a whole episode without a taste-labotomy.
Apparently, in the American version, 'Elementary', one Mr Vinnie Jones is playing Moriarty:

One minute of Sherlock was enough for me.

I just checked - that means you tuned out during a flashback of Watson at war, meaning you quit before Sherlock even showed up. Maybe if you'd stuck around just a little longer than 60 seconds?

I see enough clips on BBC to stop me tuning in. Andrew Scott??? Really??? Would a Moriarty like his be able to hide in the shadows?

I dunno, tune in and find out?

Well, he didn't. He gave a shocking OTT performance. Worst acting I've seen since Simm did Doctor Who.
Did the one minute you watched have him in it then?
