For my last blog post for comp this semester, I want to talk about on of my favorite shows ever. Everyone probably knows the story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, but, in case you dont, I will give you a rundown. Some describe Sherlock as a physcophath. He loves it when someone is murdered because he gets to solve the case. Sherlock can easily tell you everything about yourself just by looking at you. He really is brilliant. John is his trusy sidekick who always seems to be trying to get Sherlock out of trouble. Each episode from BBC is an hour and a half long so there is only three episodes in each season.
Sherlock is played by Benedict Cumberbatch and John Martin Freeman. There are three seasons so far and the first one aired in 2010. The show has quickly become the UKs most popular TV drama. Now while I have never actually read the books of Sherlock, i have been told the series and the books are extremely similar.
There are many, many reasons why I love this show. It could be the excellent acting. I can never ever see Benedict as anyone else by my Sherlock. Even when he was in 12 Years a Slave, he was still Sherlock to me. It could be the mysterious, why I love this show. Every time I watch a new episode, I am always trying to see if I can figure out who did it faster than Sherlock. (This has yet to happen). But the reason this show is so awesome to me, is how connected Sherlock and John are. I love their friendship. These two, I swear, would go to the end of the world for each other. *SPOILER* In the last episode of Season two, Sherlock dies and John goes back to his therapy sessions and you can tell Martin is actually crying for the death of Sherlock, morning John's best friends death. Later on, I had read that Martin was so upset with the death of Sherlock that after they had finished filming the scene, Benedict hugged him until he calmed down. I love how their friendship isnt just in the characters but in them as well and that is why the make such perfect fictional BFF's.
