You should be watching this TV show.
Completely in love with this show. Like, Firefly-level love. And the past seasons are on Netflix, so I'm slowly watching those, too. --Stephanie Bordeaux-Seeger
My wife is referring to the wonderful BBC series Sherlock , now in its third season (or "series," as they say in Britain.)
Despite the fact that it's in its 3rd season, there are only, what, 11 episodes to watch? So it's a Firefly-class show in terms of the number of episodes, too. If you haven't watched it, The way the scripts parallel the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories is wonderful. In the original, Dr. John Watson, British Army surgeon, is sent to Afghanistan during the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-79), is wounded and sent home to England. On their first encounter, Holmes takes one look and remarks that Watson has been in Afghanistan, astounding him. In this show, the same thing happens after Watson has been in Afghanistan with the modern-day Coalition forces, and when he and Holmes meet, Holmes eyes him for a moment and says, "Afghanistan, or Iraq?" Wonderful writing.
***** Five stars. Watch it at your earliest opportunity.
