Events unfold in our days. He passed through Afghanistan, remained an invalid. On his return to his native land he meets with a mysterious, but peculiar genius man. He is looking for a roommate. London, 2010 year. There are unexplained murders. Scotland Yard has no idea what to grab for. There is only one person who is able to solve problems and find answers to difficult questions.

Review of the series from me:
How much has been said about the series "Sherlock" ... And yet I can not help expressing my opinion. This series is a masterpiece. Yes, maybe for someone that remains immortal Sherlock, who masterfully embodied Livanov, someone is a fan of Hollywood Sherlock performed by Robert Downey the Younger, but I endlessly adore Sherlock Benedict Cumberbatch.

So, what is the new Sherlock Holmes series? This is a classic English detective, in which common sense gives way to the primacy of the analytical mind, and the most incredible crimes are possible if there is a detective capable of uncovering them. It is a beautiful gray-blue London, full of mysteries, but ready to open it to someone who can look deep into things. This is a new-new Sherlock, writing an SMS message, looking for answers to his questions on the worldwide network and adding a "colleague" to the word "friend" - these "all-knowing" people always understand everything wrong.

Sherlock Holmes is a sociopath? Yes please. In the courtyard is not a calm nineteenth century, in which no one dares to spit on the sidewalk and greets women solely with a kiss in the palm. Sherlock has always been a certain standard - this is evident from the books. He takes over from his time both the best and the worst, embodying the hero whom people love. Sherlock Holmes has always been loved. Now they just gave us whom we are ready to love today. Again, there are two points of view on the figure of the hero: some want him to be a tracing paper from the book (but what's the point?), Others see him as a character in free flight, which develops as he does, depending on the hand that writes it.

John Watson - the most lively person of the series. On a couple with Inspector Lestrade, by the way, win-win good-natured and touching, he is the main eye of the viewer. Through it everyone feels. He was always a narrator, he was always a spectator. Therefore, he quite rightly sticks out at the psychologist for days and rushes from fervor to complete indifference - just like a real person.

James Moriarty is the most untroubled character who, without Andrew Scott, would not have been on the show at all. In this movie, in which decisions are intertwined into each other right during the filming, we see a psychopath with trembling lips and guess-guess-guess its background, and then Scott just corrects the butterfly and says "Yes, he has no past, so much more interesting" . And you feel that you are creating this Moriarty. By the way, it is in the context of this hero that a real holiday of the brain unfolds in the picture. It is by talking with James that we understand how valuable every word falls from the screen; how carefully you need to keep track of the details. We understand that we are also waiting for intellectual work. Do not even dream, - as the creators say, - we will not tell you how and who survived. If you are claiming to be a fan of SH, then you must move yourself.

Also, I will note a great soundtrack, crashing into the brain for a long time, the find of the series - visual chips, like inscriptions directly on the screen, slowing down time, switching frames, stopping frames.
10 out of 10 from me.

Interesting Facts:
The series is based on the works of Arthur Conan Doyle about Sherlock Holmes (published from 1887 to 1927), but the action takes place nowadays.

The apartment of Holmes and Watson at Baker Street, 221 B, was shot on North Gower Street, 187 (187 North Gower Street) in the London district of Bloomsbury. For the pilot episode, some scenes were shot on Baker Street. The representative of the BBC explained the refusal to shoot on Baker Street in that there is a very dense car traffic on this street, and also because there are a lot of items and signboards with the inscriptions "Sherlock Holmes", in particular at house 221 B, which would have to be removed.

Sherlock sometimes uses a mnemonic technique called "The Memory Palace" or "The Halls of Mind". This is not an invention of scriptwriters, but a real mnemonic method, rooted in the times of ancient Rome.

Initial titles and signatures in the series are made in the font Johnston Sans, known for its use in the London Underground.

Some quotes:
If you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest.

To be intelligent is one thing, and to be clever is another.

In the world of closed doors, the one who has the key is the king.

Between us, why do not people think? Does not that annoy you? Why do not they just think about it?
Thanks for reading and I apologize for the mistakes!
