Sherlock Holmes

Television is so dismal these days that I recently found myself getting slightly excited at a poster for Beauty and the Geek. Scary.

All my hopes for good television rest on Sherlock. It has almost everything: mystery plots, modern take on vintage literary hero, good British casting—Benedict Cumberbatch is one of my favourite names, and he is so interesting (he was apparently in the running to be Doctor Who, which would have been cool—and now I notice how much Matt Smith looks like him), and he's been in good stuff, I have such high hopes for his Holmes. It rated really well in the UK. I'm surprised it's on NBN not ABC, it's a shame it will have ads.

Can't wait to see.
