We just started watching the BBC's new series
Sherlock, the classic story of Sherlock Holmes but in a modern setting.
Holy cow. I haven't loved a series this much in a very long time. The casting is just fantastic, and unlike most BBC productions, this one has a serious budget. Apparently they were afraid it wouldn't catch on quickly enough after all the money they'd spent on it, so the "first season" is paced as three 90-minute episodes, instead of 9 half-hours.
It's really incredible. Dana, I think you in particular would adore it, if you haven't seen it already. It's written by Mark Gatiss, you know.
