i like the show and watch it but it's terribly hyped up, one of the many on the bbc. yeah we know the bbc doesn't churn out great shows all the time so they have a few they hype up a lot to make it seem like they are awesome.

every now and then they show an advert between programmes saying "BBC the One to watch" as if they are the best channel on tv....and they usually use clips existing shows or upcoming ones.

 

i roll my eyes when they hype up the latest eastenders plot as they are all the same and horrible. 

 

dr who

sherlock

eastenders (crap)

holby (crap)

strictly (crap)

the bake off (watchable)

 

i wish there was no tv license at times, we pay them to air a load of ..poop.. most of the time.

 

with the exception of the odd good show like;

 

the musketeers, ripper street, death in paradise, top gear, the various docu's on One / 2 / FOUR and the odd game show

 

Saturdays never been the same since the days of big break, generation game, noel's house party are long past.

YOu rumble about the plot then make comparisons with a car show and game shows? :rofl:  I think you not liking sherlock is mostly down to it not being your type of show?

Found the first episode to be decent, second was pretty good, third a mixed bag. I'm really disappointed that

Moriarty is really dead. His death, while shocking at the time to raise the immediate stakes, was ultimately unfulfilling. The greatest enemy for the world's greatest, er, second, er, third smartest person kills himself just to make a single choice more difficult. That being Moriarty's end was almost as unfulfilling as Magnussen being the villain for series three.

I like it.  Lucy Liu plays Joan  Watson  -  Sherlock has a female doctor assistant. And he also in USA, and after drug rehab for heroin. Watson is his sober companion.

 

I am not watching the latest season,  but I enjoyed first 4 seasons a lot.     About same for me as BBC sherlock in enjoyment, even though it is quite different.

well, it is less british, as it happens in USA. 

 

some cases stretch for many episodes, some are just 1 episode.   some episodes are not even cases.   

 

Anyway, if you like Sherlock Holmes and/or solving police cases,  I think you would enjoy it.  

 

However there are a lot of episodes. 108 so far.  and each one is 40 min.

 

 At first I was not sure, since I watched Sherlock first, that the American version will work, but Jonny Lee Miller is very good as Sherlock, and Lucy Liu does a surprisingly good job as his assistant.

    • Maybe it's just my old-school soul talking, but I’ve always felt that games aren't 'real' games until they hit the PC. Leaving the PC community out at launch just doesn't sit right with me. That being said, I'm probably going to buy the PS5 just for the fun of trying it out.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
