"5+ out of 5"
Delightful modern take on an old classic. The only down-side to this series is that the next installment isn't due out until 2014 :(

"A brilliant modern take on a classic character"
Bought this series on DVD despite having already watched the episodes a few times before, mainly so I could introduce other people to the show. Everyone who watches it comes back with favourable reviews.

Description
Sherlock Holmes was always a modern man - it’s the world that got old.
Now he’s back as he should be: edgy, contemporary, difficult and dangerous, as award-winning actor Benedict Cumberbatch shows him in a new, contemporary light. He has a unique analytical brain unlike anyone else in the world, who staves off boredom by solving crimes. When a chance encounter brings soldier John Watson (Martin Freeman) into Sherlock’s life, it’s apparent the two men couldn’t be more different, but Sherlock’s intellect coupled with John’s pragmatism soon forges an unbreakable alliance. Across three thrilling, scary, action-packed and highly entertaining television movies, Sherlock and John navigate a maze of cryptic clues and lethal killers to get at the truth. With sparkling scripts and unforgettable performances from the two leads, this is Sherlock for a new generation.

This modern version of Sherlock has been well crafted and edited with a perfect cast. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock and does a stunning job with it as does Martin Freeman with John Watson. It's more like three movies than episodes as it has been edited and put together like a masterpiece.
Each episode is based on one of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories. A Study in Pink is based on A Study in Scarlet, The Blind Bank is based on two stories called The Valley of Fear and The Dancing Men, while The Great Game is reflected upon a number of stories but mainly The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans.
It's quite interesting to see how they changed the original story to fit into modern times, for example; John Watson keeps a blog instead of a journal.
By far Sherlock is one of the best television shows I have ever seen and is a perfect series and a perfect buy.
