The new series that everyone in the UK is talking about is Sherlock, a modern telling of the Conan Doyle stories.  We’ve got Watson played by genre fave Martin Freeman and we’ve got Holmes played by the awesomely named Benedict Cumberbatch (who is also quite the hottie in that Holmes way: Lanky, Smart, English).

The series is on its 3rd or 4th episode of its first run (they are called series not seasons in the UK) and it looks to be a hit.  It’s helmed by Steven Moffat, he of the new order of Who. 

Sadly this is the type of show we aren’t getting in the states.  And unless you are into downloading episdoes via Torrent or what have you, you’ll have to wait for this to hit BBCAmerica in another 6 months or longer.
