Unlike all adaptations already made, the series brings the stories of Sherlock Holmes to the 21st century, and without losing its essence, it manages to translate what the detective's life would be like today.

My highlights go to (1) the structure proposed by the series: 3 episodes of 90 minutes per season. Each episode tells a different tale from the original work. (2) The language of the series. For the first time, the audience is taken inside Sherlock's head, and begins to decipher the riddles with him and not after everything is completed. Editing (3) is fundamental to sustain this new language, because it is through it that we see, in cuts and letterings, what Sherlock is deducing in his observations. In addition to bringing scene transitions, to make any editor jealous. (4) The performances are another highlight and help a lot in the success of this plot. Through them (and the direction), the series was able to easily transition between humor, drama and suspense - a form that has been used a lot lately, but which fits the series like a glove. And finally, (5) the photography of the series is magnificent. It brings important details to the scenes, without leaving out the beauty of the scenery (London).

Benedict was made to be Sherlock. Simply perfect. Robert Downey Jr. Cries thermal pools every time he hears the name of Benedict Cumberbatch.
