BBC's "Sherlock" (Series Four Premieres 2017) - Blu-ray Forum

detective392 · 07-26-2010, 12:32 AM

Any one catch Sherlock tonight? I will be watching it later tonight but from all the promo's it looks to be a good/interesting adaption of Sherlock Holmes.

If it wasn't called Sherlock I might have been interested. Now, well...

Fantastic! Loved it, though comparisons with the Doctor are inevitable with Moffat writing this too.

I was dubious when I hear about it, but it's great stuff. Only 3 eps but another series has been commissioned

Still haven't seen it yet but heard good things about it. Happy that we are getting a 2nd series now we just need a Blu-ray release and we are good.

I have it on my PS3, waiting to watch it....I think there is a blu coming out next month. You can preorder it on Amazon.uk

Cool let's just hope that BBCA/PBS gives us a Blu-ray release after it airs in the US.

I've been watching and -loving- Sherlock on PBS.

It's a very entertaining, well-crafted show. Perfect casting, high production values, scripts overflowing with humor and suspense--just ace. A very easy watch. I highly recommend it.

Finally watched the first series tonight and I loved every minute of it. The cases were well crafted and very interesting as well as the acting. I loved the reveal of

and can't wait to see how series 2 goes but wish we got more then 3 episodes.

I think its going to be a while before season 2 comes out unless Martin Freeman is allowed to leave filming the Hobbit. Similar to the situation with Kenneth Branagh filming Thor and the BBC wanting to film a 3 season of 6 episodes of Wallander.

They've already started shooting Season 2. They worked around his schedule so he could do The Hobbit as well. We'll get more Sherlock this fall I believe.

Yeah series 2 starts this Fall as they worked around his schedule and he was able to do both. It does suck that Branagh did have to delay Wallander for Thor though but can't wait for Sherlock 2 and Wallander 3.

That is awesome news!

The only thing I'm worried about is PSB going to be able to keep getting these shows since the Republicans are cutting the government funds to PBS and NPR.

Kapow! 11: Ideal Holmes

Quote:

The game is afoot: the mystery of what awaits fans of last year's hit BBC series Sherlock - which transplanted Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary Victorian detective into the present day – received its first clues today from show co-runner Mark Gatiss at the Kapow! Comic Con in London.

"We knew after having a successful first run that the natural order would be to do three of the most famous [stories]," explained Gatiss to a packed, rapt audience, "being a version of A Scandal in Bohemia, a version of The Hound of the Baskervilles and a version of The Final Problem."

Hound of the Baskervilles needs little introduction, but for non-hardcore Holmes buffs, Bohemia pits the super sleuth against one Irene Adler (the character Rachel McAdams played in the recent Guy Ritchie movie) and The Final Problem has the infamous Holmes vs. Moriarty duel at the Reichenbach Falls. Gatiss discussed the challenges he and co-creator Steven Moffat face in updating these tales for their contemporary setting.

"There's the question of how to go out on a cliffhanger and then the thematic things of the three stories, where we were trying to get to," he said, "and what Sherlock and John's relationship is a little further on. You can't just go back to: 'You have no emotions.' 'I don't care.' You've got to move on somewhere and make sure the other characters have something of a journey too."

In terms of divvying up the writing, Gatiss also divulged that "Steve wanted to do the twisted love story [A Scandal in Bohemia], I'm doing the Gothic horror [Baskervilles] and Steve Thompson {who wrote Series 1's The Blind Banker] is doing The Final Problem."

Can't wait to see Hound of the Baskervilles as it's my favorite Holmes story and I love pretty much anything gothic horror like. Not a fan of Steve Thompson writing Final Problem as I found the Blind Banker to be the weakest of the 3 and chances are it will be the season finale so it has to go out with an amazing finale.

Awesome, thanks for the update Detective. I can't wait for the new season. I've already watched the first a few times through all ready.

Yeah I'm getting ready for my second play through but have to finish a few other things first.

Off-topic but have you started Being Human Walts if you even are?

No, I need the cash to pick up the first season.

I don't normally download things so I'm just waiting until i can pick it up. Should be in the next month or so. I can't wait.

OK cool yeah I would say if you like DW, Torchwood and Sherlock you will love Being Human even though they don't really have anything to do with each other except being British and on BBC. One of my favorite series and only get's better as it goes along.

Awesome. I can't wait.

I keep hoping eventually we'll actually get all of Robin Hood with Jonas Armstrong on blu...That show is really good. I would be ok with Primeval as well.

Yeah I was really disappointed when Robin Hood only got 1 season on Blu and the complete collection was DVD only. Primeval was released on Blu in the UK for the 4th season and when I asked BBCA the guy said he wasn't sure what the plans were but said it's more then likely Primeval season 4 will see a Blu release in America as the UK got one.

Season one of Sherlock was insanely good. Can't wait for season 2. Americans need to be made aware of this show!
