Sherlock - too clever; too cryptic; too contrived 12 Years, 4 Months ago
Everyone seems to love it; I ended up thinking Stephen Moffatt is no Russell T Davies. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I just don't get the conceit of updating it. The whole point of Conan Doyle's stories was his detective was a symbol of Enlightenment reasoning in an era of pre-Enlightenment speculative policing. Bringing that into an era of rationalist-driven policing (yes, yes, still crap, but anyway) undermines the fiction. Everyone's a Sherlock these days.
