BBC aired the first of three ~90min episodes of this show on Saturday night. It transplants the Sherlock Holmes tales into a modern 21st century London, England setting.
The first episode was written by Moffat and is an adaptation of "A Study in Scarlet" titled "A Study in Pink". Martin Freeman plays Watson, freshly back from Afghanistan, and Benedict Cumberbatch plays the Holmes role. Rupert Graves also shows up as Lestrade.
The first episode was a lot of fun, and featured some very cool shot setups and cinematography. The story was essentially the same as the original (updated of course for modern technology), but did feature a few twists on some of the clues.
Apparently the next two episodes will be airing over the next couple of weekends.
Anyone else catch it?
