A Brain, a Doctor and A Lot of Mystery

So we have a brilliant detective with a killer jaw line, a timid yet unmistakably adorable doctor with a case of psychosomatic PTSD as a trusty sidekick, and a never-ending amount of murders, robberies, and questions. What’s not to like about Sherlock Holmes?   Benedict Cumberbatch who plays the well-known London sleuth, Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century rendition of the Scottish author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s many works of novels and short stories pertaining to Holmes.  Martin Freeman plays the military doctor who has a limp due to PTSD from a tore in Afghanistan.  Freeman finds himself always annoyed yet excited for the next adventure Holmes drags him to.  We have to give him props; he is probably the only person in London who can stand being around a guy who can tell what your thinking even before you have time to process it!  Yes this show is full of grade A looking men but it is also a great story line, one down flaw is there is only three to four episodes a season.  Unlike television series in America that normal have up to fifteen a season, in London they keep it short and sweet with around four.  Great acting, and pretty faces, I ask again what’s not to love about Sherlock Holmes?
