So, my dad introduced me to this tonight. For those of you who don't know, MPT-- that'd be Maryland Public Television, and probably the rest of PBS, too-- likes to get a lot of British, specifically BBC shows. I don't know why. They just do.
So my dad was channel-surfing and stopped for an inordinate amount of time on MPT, on this show where a flamingly gay British man was doing something with a neon-pink suitcase whilst discussing a murder with his friend, also apparently flamingly gay, whom he was telling to text someone.
Initially, I was assuming that this was a murder-centric British version of that... Dharma and Greg(?) Show. Gay people doing funny things? I don't know, it went off the air and I never watched it anyway. Then I start to get suspicious and my dad tells me that it's Sherlock Holmes, that they made a new version. And so I watch some of it. And, honestly, it was pretty awesome.
But is it a bad thing that I find easily the most awesome part that they timed the remake very carefully so that Dr. Watson was still able to be fighting Afghans? (Or Pashtuns or whatever.) Awesome and mildly depressing, of course.
Anybody else seen this? I don't feel like Wikipedia-ing it, so, Brit-peoples, how old is this show? Obviously it came out since 2001. But aside from that.
Also, is it just me, or does Sherlock look disturbingly like a combination of Neil Gaiman and one of those Jonas Brothers kids?
