I broke down and splurged for the SD copy of the first episode, and was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. The characters were fully flushed out, not just stereotypes updated to a modern setting. The ways in which things were updated were not only interesting but fun (the "three patch problem" was great). Like PGage, I was reluctant to see a modern Sherlock, but they pulled it off in ways both familiar to those who love the characters and entertaining for fans of good TV. What they used to call "Charlie-vision" on "Numbers" is used sparingly yet effectively to show Sherlock's thought process when exposition would be awkward. And "Tim" as Dr. Watson was superb casting, though I'm concerned he may be tied up playing Bilbo for the next series of episodes. I say this as a non-fan of Steven Moffat's Dr. Who, the writing was terrific and the adaptation was outstanding. Good going to all involved. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV ....
