Originally the year was 1881 and the location, 221B Baker Street, London, England. This refers to, of course, the infamous Sherlock Holmes books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each Sherlock mystery would be solved by Sherlock coming to a shocking conclusion using pieces of information that everyone missed. Throughout the books, Sherlock\u2019s flatmate, Watson, played narrator for their tales. But perhaps this
\nstory is a little too outdated for this day and age. Enter Steven Moffat and
\nMark Gatiss, the minds behind the BBC\u2019s modern adaptation of these old Sherlock
\ntales. Their version still plays out at the same address, 221B Baker Street, and
\nwith the same characters. The most noticeable change is the backdrop. No longer
\nset in Victorian England, the BBC\u2019s \u201cSherlock\u201d features our favourite
\ndetectives running around the streets of modern dayEngland.<\/p>\n
Doctor John H. Watson, an ex-army doctor, has recently returned from Afghanistan and finds himself in need of a flatmate to afford accommodations in London.\u00a0 He
\nis then introduced to Sherlock Holmes, the self-proclaimed \u201cconsulting
\ndetective. Soon, Watson learns that Sherlock has an uncanny ability to deduce
\nanyone\u2019s life story by simply looking at them. Working voluntarily, Sherlock
\nsteps in to solve any case that stumps the British police.\u00a0 Then enter Moriarty, the consulting criminal, whose own intelligence has left him bored with the world and out of
\nchallengers. That is, until he hears of Sherlock and begins to plan Sherlock\u2019s
\ndownfall.<\/p>\n
Sherlock is blunt, but his charismatic excitement around each new murder is captivating.\u00a0 His relationship with John is one of speculation among fans and other characters alike. Despite the fact that John declares himself straight and Sherlock considers himself married to his work, the sexual tension and direct hints of a possible romantic relationship throughout the show suggest at a most interesting friendship. Sherlock drives most of the other characters crazy with his ability to decode where they have been.\u00a0 Each side character is a creative insertion to the tale, providing alternate views, a challenge for Sherlock, and a laugh for the audience.\u00a0 Sherlock\u2019s one
\ntrue challenger is the lovably eccentric Moriarty. He plans the downfall of
\nSherlock with as much enthusiasm and glee as a kitten with a ball of yarn.<\/p>\n
Every show, the audience is charmed by an amazing script, witty repartee between characters, the characters themselves and the devious complexity of every case.
