Following a motif (totally by accident), I just watched all of the (current) seasons of Sherlock.
Cumberbatch is a pretentious fuckface and I can barely stand him for some reason, but I suppose that's why the role suits him so well. I really enjoyed his conversations with MyCroft.
All the gay jokes were really annoying--especially since I know they only included them to pay homage to modern society's interpretation of two men living together as friends and colleagues as being subtext for something else entirely.
I realize it's kind of a commentary on modern day London, but you could tell that the show was compelled not to show him smoking. And when it did, it always made sure to call him the antichrist for doing it. Fuck that shit. Besides BBC being apart of prime-time television's silly non-smoking campaign, Holmes snorted coke for fuck's sake. Accuracy is more important than your fucking agenda.
Also, I hate the first name basis. I realize they focused on his first this time around to move away from the older period rendition of the character, but it just didn't feel genuine.
Those things aside, its pretty damn enjoyable. The only one that really wore on me was the Baskerville case. Beyond that, they were all fun.
