I had thought it was going to be a typical series, but now that you mention it, it makes more sense that it will be a set of mini-series. I guess they will show in the US on Mystery. Have you heard whether Moffat plans to do any original scripts, or will they all be based on Doyle's books? I liked it. There is a bit of a renascence of imaginative TV in the UK lately with _Torchwood_, the _Dr Who_ reboot, _Primeval_ (which was renewed after being cancelled) and of course _Being Human_ and _Misfits_. The only one in that list I'm not familiar with is Misfits. I did not like the most recent Torchwood season, and Being Human is just to angsty for my taste (apparently it was first conceived as real flatmates with psychological problems). I haven't gotten around to sampling Primeval yet. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
Sherlock: new British TV show
Anyone catch the premiere episode of Sherlock (A Study in Pink), a new British TV show? It is a remarkably good, modern version of Sherlock Holmes, written by Steven Moffat of Dr. Who fame. I believe it is airing on Sundays in the UK (not sure about that, I downloaded my copy). I hope the UK viewers like it as much as I did, so that a lot of episodes are made and eventually air in the USA. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
