Anyone watching this? Cumberbatch is a very good Sherlock.

He is! I liked the first season best, because they 'got' why Sherlock is so popular after a century: his deductive skills. Although I've enjoyed the last two seasons, they have become more and more like Sherlock is a lucky guesser--lol. Cumberbatch and Freeman are truly wonderful actors, though.
I love Sherlock! I agree with skimom though that the first season was best. I wish there were more shows though and I wish we didn't have to wait so long......

. Do you watch LUTHER, Mstay? Love that one, too. I dream of a crossover between that and Sherlock (Hey, both are set in London and both are geniuses!) that will never happen I LOVE Luther too! I discovered it on Netflix. Is there more yet? I feel like an addict! 
Only 2 seasons on Netflix & HULU+, DARN IT! The third season just wrapped up a few months ago, though, so maybe once the DVDs of that have been out for a while it will show up on one or both of them. Alice is his Moriarity--lol. Have you watched WHITECHAPEL yet? Three seasons, all good. Daughter is looking for legal site to catch the fourth season online.
I haven't seen that one yet but I will definitely check it out. Thanks!
I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan for ages, have read everything Conan Doyle ever wrote about him. I've watched a bunch the Rathbone movies, and all the movies I've been able to featuring Holmes, and all the TV shows. PBS produced an excellent series starring Jeremy Brett, which was very faithful to the original stories. I've seen a couple of the recent series' shows and dug 'em.
Have watched 8.7/9 episodes (missed part of "A Study in Pink"), they range from brilliant to good.
Watching a marathon of Sherlock on BBC Canada as we speak! Love it. Got the 3rd series of Luther on iTunes. From what I gather Whitechapel has been cancelled - too bad cause I was really getting into that one too.
I just sat down to watch this for the first time yesterday on Netflix. The first ep had me hooked with it's snappy one liners.
"Are these human eyes?"
"Put those back!"
"They were in the microwave."
"It's an experiment."
and
"I'm in shock. Look! I have a blanket!"
Sadly, from what I see, those aren't as quick or catchy in subsequent episodes. I hope they pick back up.
Though, I have hit rewind more than once to see "The woman" beat up on him with a riding crop. That's just my kind of date.
Clever writing, brilliant acting. I hope they sharpen it back up to the standards of the first ep.

I've watched all three seasons. They've mostly been really good. I loved the wedding episode from last season.
I'm happy to say that season 3 was snappier with the witticisms than season 2. Now. Where's season 4?
They are taking a long hiatus, but they're coming back. They release the show every two years, so I'm guessing we'll see them in 2016.
On Graham Norton, Cumberbatch said 2015
I looked online and apparently, they're going to shoot a one show special and then three episodes in towards the end of 2015.
