Sherlock

Has anyone watched the latest Sherlock Holmes BBC series? Made by the guy who now runs Doctor Who and has soon-hobbit-to-be Martin Freeman as Watson?

It's a modern update, putting Holmes and Watson in a current-day setting. Usually I don't like that, but I have to admit, it works rather well here. There are very close parallells to the books and it's fun to pick out all the references to the books. Benedict Cumberbatch makes for a good Holmes both visually and in acting.
