I watched this last night. The first episode was amazing. The guy playing Holmes really pulls it off well.

That looks like something I would like. I watch quite a few of the BBC mystery series, and sometimes it's difficult to catch everything they're saying because of the sound quality and some of the dialect (like in Midsomer Murders). Unfortunately, most of the DVDs don't include captions, which help. This looks like you can understand it very well, though.

Muse's "The Uprising" is on its way to becoming the most overplayed song of this generation.

BTW, I should point out the soundtrack for the show is not nearly so modern. It has a good vibe. I dug it.

what channel is it on? Here in AMerica, I mean...

One of the BBC channels I guess. I don't get it, so I pirated it last night. :evil:

Steven Moffat can be pretty damn good. This sounds similar to his modern update of Jekyll a few years back that was excellent. The lead actor, James Nesbitt, was also great.

I saw a very short commercial for "upcoming programs" on Masterpeice Mystery on PBS (Sunday nights) quite a while ago and it included Sherlock. So, it should be on PBS sometime, but could be weeks or months away. For sure, it won't be shown here in the US until most or all of the episodes have shown in the UK.

Benedict Cumberbatch? That name sounds about as British as you can get...

Sherlock U.S. Air Date

Good news for our American cousins, the air date for BBC’s Sherlock in the US has finally been announced.

PBS will be screening the three-part mini series starting Sundays, October 24-November 7, 9:00 p.m. ET, so you will all be able to see what us Brits have all been squeeing about.

Did he really say......."squeeing"?

Why wait when you can download NOW?

Yes

This

Episode 2 is out.

http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/2333499/27647667/

Episodes 1 & 3 alone were better than the movie that just came out

Episode 2 was pretty meh

wow, NO SHIT?

I finally caught this when PBS aired it. Fantastic series. Eagerly awaiting series 2.

Anyone love this show? Can't wait for the 3rd series/season/whatever they call it. I've rewatched "The Reichenbach Fall" a couple times now because my friend and brother watched it, and I am starting to put some things together regarding the end.

It's amazing.

That it is. I loved the first episode and last episode the best. After that, the first episode of season 2 with "the woman" was my next favorite. I didn't care as much for the second episodes in either season.

It's great.

Love it. The last episode we watched was the first one with Moriarity in it. Drove me nuts that I couldn't place the guy until I checked IMDb and realized he was Hall from Band of Brothers.

Great series. Can't wait for 3.

My daughter introduced me to it this year. Great show.

Series is fantastic. Can't wait for the third installment.

So what do you figure is the explanation for Sherlock's survival from last season's finale? Hammond was grilling Cumberbatch about it on Top Gear a few weeks back.

I can hardly wait. I'm scared because the series follows very closely the books except for the updated environment. I like their take on Holmes and I'm torn between wanting the stories to stop where SAC Doyle left them, and the desire to see what the writers could do on their own. Only time will tell.

When does it return?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475582/...f_=tt_eps_sn_3

Halloween.

Unfortunately, that is just IMDB guessing. No date has been specified for the return other than late 2013 for the BBC and early 2014 for the US broadcast.

What about BBC USA? Would it be same as BBC?

Sherlock in the past hasn't been on BBCA, it's been on PBS. Not sure if that's continuing or not.

Sounds like it is.

Watched the first....whatever it is on Amazon Prime. This is really good. Really really good.

My question is, WTF kind of format are they doing? 3 episodes every 2 years? I don't understand.

All of the main people involved are busy doing other things, so I think they just fit in filming whenever they can.


And I guess it's not as uncommon in the UK to have weird season formats/lengths. They have avoided a lot of the "we're doing 20+ episodes a season until no one watches and we cancel it" thing that plagued US television for so long, and still does a bit.

Wheeeeeee! Can't wait!

Nice. I eat that shit up.

Me neither. Is it going to air the same night in the US as it is in the UK? If not...off to the Pirate Bay for this impatient prick. :D

PBS says that they're going to air it on Jan 19th. :thumb:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/...es-jan-19-2014

Nope- we get the 1st episode on Valentines Day I believe in the USA- and yes, torrent will be fired up for this well before that for me!

Wait til you get to like season 2 when they introduce Sherlock's love interest. The character is awesome, and they cast an awesome actress to play her!

Will it air on BBC America?

I was wondering. I thought they'd space it out from Downton Abbey, but I guess not.

About time we got some real Sherlock back on the air!

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JwntNANJCOE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I can't wait!

Newest episode should have wrapped up its airing in the UK (9p GMT) about 15 minutes ago, so a HD version on torrent should be available in about an hour or so. Episode is titled,
''The Empty Hearse''.

This and 2 episodes of Community tonight = joyous New Year tele!

Thank you! Rep for the reminder!

Slight Spoiler, not a plot spoiler, but a punchline spoiler




That, my friends, if one koala tee joke.

For those slower on the uptake, read Sherlock's and Watson's parts as one phrase with a jump cut from Sherlock's rented room to Watson's medical office, where he's performing a hernia check, in between.

We're people not picking up on this? I thought it was pretty obvious.

Best scene in the episode...

.

Season 3 Episode 2 is available now for anyone else looking to take their mind off things and enjoy it, fyi!

Id rather not torrent this, does anyone know if it is on any country's netflix (for season 3)?

Dude, just go to BBC One, throw on hola! and switch it to the UK. Voila! You can watch it whenever you want! Which is what I am about to do.

Nice. Thanks for the heads up.

Season 3 EP 2 was definitely my least favorite so far.

Ugh. I hate to hear that. Just finished se03ep1. It was decent.

Double posted for some odd reason, my b.

Sadly, I agree. I think they painted themselves into a corner with the wedding storyline, and if this was a 1 off for a show with 13-15 episodes a season, it'd be okay, I guess.

But, a 3rd of the season, and likely to be the final one, this was a throwaway at best - with almost 0 apparent development of his supposed main villain of the season that we got a glimpse of after episode 1, Charles Augustus Magnussen .

Their teaser Many Happy Returns I thought was a great short to wet your appetite, and I've just not been engaged with wasting time having to reestablish Holmes and Watson's relationship or dealing with the change due to his marriage.

The last Ritchie Sherlock movie introduced that whole Mary / getting married scenario, and I would have been fine with episode 1, and then getting back to a case at hand (primary case of the episode) with an underlying plot setup for the big villain for episode 3. Mary would have been best left out or a minor point of the story on par with their widow landlord, Mrs. Hudson.

There was really very little callback for progression of events from 1 to 2 & leading into 3- unless they really have us duped and events at the wedding and within episode 2 actually are subtle clues and pieces important to episode 3?

What do I know, I'm just hoping that they go out with a bang and saved the best for last.

Episode 3 teaser trailer:

I could have sworn I'd mused on this here earlier [maybe in a different, buried, thread], but has there been a more odd-looking 'attractive' celebrity than BC.

I swear to God, every time they do a closeup of his face, I can only see either Simba's father in The Lion King, or Ron Perlman in Beauty and the Beast prosthetics. It's like there's this itch in the back of my mind insisting that he's not altogether human.

They say the cliffhanger for this upcoming episode will be bigger than The Reichenbach Fall

This thread is so skimpy compared to Game of Soft Floppy Penises thread.

Well it's not technically been aired in the US, but I would have expected more discussion also

Right but the thread has been up since 2010. I know it's a UK/BBC show, but it's pretty highly regarded internationally and it popped up for me on Netflix all the time before I started watching it, and I never watch British shows or even crime dramas. As far as Game of Thrones, I haven't sat down to watch it yet. I'm sure it's great but I just haven't had the time between work, school, a video game here and there, the few TV shows and movies that I already spend time watching, and of course watching the Chiefs rip my soul out through my rectum.

I love this show. It interesting though. Each episode is like a short movie. So you get like 3 movies per season.

And the way this season has gone it's like 3 movies in a 12 day span.

Drunk Sherlock made that episode more than worth it.

Watched these over the last week. Brilliant!

If anyone's interested, a while back PBS aired a program called 'How Sherlock Changed the World.' It's somewhat of a promo for this show while also talking about the books' historical significance.

http://video.pbs.org/program/how-she...changed-world/

Also, this week PBS American Experience's ep was 'The Poisoner's Handbook' which talked about investigating mysterious deaths in our history. Really enjoyed it. It's available for online viewing.

Episode 3 is now available. Better option than the boring abortion of a game between SD and the donkeys.

Holy ****! That was great! Now the long wait.

Wow, that episode more than made up for the suckiness of the last one. Holy shit!

Moffat has come out and said he's already got season 4 and 5 planned out and the cast, producers, and writers are all on board with getting under way with principle shooting in the near future.

He and Gatiss were spitballing ideas and had a stroke of genius or inspiration. Both of them basically laid out the major details for 4 and 5, and think what they have in mind for the next 2 seasons is by far better than anything seen to date in the Sherlock series.

That's a rather bold statement!

I have no clue why I never put 2 and 2 together that the other main writer for the show also plays Mycroft on it?

Well, that was quick. Season 4 will premiere on Christmas 2014!

Damn, just saw the latest episode.
