BBC Sherlock

Hi Charlie !

Judith and I want to talk to you about one of the greatest show in the world : Sherlock !
So what is it about ?
It's the story of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes but in our century.



Even if there is one case per episode, all of them are linked in some way. But the plot is not the only thing that is interesting, the characters are all developed and amazing.



For example, Sherlock, the "high functioning sociopath" to quote him, is easily hated at first but we quickly start loving his sarcasm and his unusual way of seeing things. Moreover, we have to say that he is very classy and handsome (even if you might not think so at the beginning).



Like in the books, John was an army doctor and seconds Sherlock in every cases. He is also very sarcastic, mostly toward Sherlock, and as human and disoriented as we are.



Molly Hooper, a secondary character, is as well developed as the main characters. She is even crucial at some stages of the show.

The fact that it is tranported nowadays is original and very well done.It is very naturally incorporated in the story, for example instead of writing books, John writes a blog and Sherlock texts Scotland Yard.

The way it is filmed and edited is very aesthetic and unique :

Fangirl part :

First, the fandom. It is huge and interprets anything that you can think of. Some theories are even very complex and well thought. It also manages to have 560 000 memes and 33 000 gifs that come from (ONLY) 10 épisodes, even tho they reach 1h30min long each. That stops us from becoming crazy during the hiatuses ( the YEARS of waiting between two seasons).



As you may know, fandom always create ships (When you think that two characters should be together). Ours are, among others, Johnlock, aka John and Sherlock, and Sherlolly, aka Sherlock and John (don't judge us).

Judith and I.

PS : As long as we're waiting for season 4, doing a marathon of the show takes only 15 hours in your life. Just saying.
