I avoided Sherlock like the ostentatious bit of ham I thought it was, at first. Also I'm a Rathbone fan, and Doyle, obviously. And from the glimpse I saw in passing, Watson had a macbook, which ENRAGED me for some reason.
But to get my friends to shut up, I submitted myself to the first 20 minutes of the currently airing episode, which happened to be Season 3, episode 1, and after glowering at the screen for approximately thirty seconds, I sat the fuck down and was predictably mesmerised for the rest of the bloody show...
It's very very good.
I watched all nine episodes in completely random order, and didn't find it confusing or spoilerly.
I've also foisted the series onto three other people, starting with the same episode, which remains my favourite. It's very interestingly filmed, and if you know the books then you're not going to be startled by any reappearance.
But that's a rather backasswards way of doing it, so don't necessarily listen to me...Although if I'd started with Season 1, episode 2, I might have abandoned the series! Terrible episode!
