Sherlock was a great series. I enjoyed it very much, the character updated to our time, his intelligence and also his flaws. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it, but it hooked me quickly, the whole cast is perfect. Cumberbatch and Feeeman have good chemistry as Cherlock and Watson, but I really liked Andrew Scott's performance as Moriarty. Especially the episode where we find out who Moriarty is. One thing I like about British series, is that most are seasons with few episodes. Although sometimes, we are left wanting more episodes hahaha. But for me it benefits the stories a lot when there are few episodes, there is no need to make filler episodes, like those American series of 24 episodes per season.
By the way, I love those series in the shadows, Breaking Bad, Lost and 24. Fuck, 24 with Kiefer playing Jack Bauer, nobody stopped him to achieve his goal, even if he had to kill his friends and torture people. I remember an episode where to get information out of one of the villains, he shoots the bad guy's wife in the leg hahahaha. Today they would complain about that scene, those were other times, 24 came out in the post 9/11 era and it was the series and the hero that American television needed.
And that's what made those shows stand out. Main characters who were well established and were captivating
I'm curious though what's your opinion on my writing? If you have any
Although I liked Sherlock, I don't consider it the best of television in recent times. As for the female characters in the series, I think that is one of its weak points, it is a series where the story is driven by male characters. I can compare it to another British series called Luther, where there was a really intriguing, strong and attractive female character for the viewer. Long before Sherlock there were other characters that were better written and are part of other masterpieces of the small screen. Tony Soprano, is an example of a well written and developed character, of course they are very different series. In my case, the best series is The Wire. Sherlock is above all entertainment well done, but The Wire is a series that delves into social problems, especially in the city of Baltimore, but that can easily be transferred to the reality of many other cities anywhere in the world, where corruption and crime are the daily bread.
