I haven’t seen the TV series.. But I look fwd to your posts. The premise is very interesting. How about featuring Sex and the City?

In reply to Anjali. Thanks Anjali! I agree, the reaction that his acquaintances have to Sherlock's personality seem much more realistic on the show. You can see that they're tolerating him simply because he's a genius.

I remember thinking that this is the first time I thought of Sherlock as an unpopular person. Somehow, the books had elevated him to some godly status and I forgave him his eccentricities because of his brilliance. I felt the TV series don’t ask that of me. Nice post Pooja:)

In reply to Anurag. Thanks for reading and commenting, Anurag! I must admit, I did enjoy the two movies with Robert Downey Jr. However, that was only because I stopped thinking of the two characters as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. I only thought of them as 'a detective and his friend', so it was much easier to enjoy the humour and the adventure.
