We are in present time with good old Sherlock Holmes. This modernized way of presenting the most brilliant detective of all time is brilliant in every way. We can easily relate to the series because of the modern type of crimes and characters. The dry humour of Sherlock fits very well to the present times comedians. The dark and gloomy colours are a great way to set a thrilling scene. Cumberbatch is fitting perfectly as an arrogant, brainy Sherlock Holmes in the modern world. He is tall, sneaky and has a glint in the eye like he knows something others have no idea about, which they often don't. After watching the first episode I just wanted to move on to the second instantly.
