I never watched any of the films. I like Bennedict Cumberbatch I've seen him in a few things. At first I thought they way he reads people was silly, now I'm finding my self doing it. Lol. I've watched the first season and am almost done with 2. Murder in Belgravia is my favorite episode so far. Watson has become annoying to me tho and the episodes are so long that when they revisit something from an hour ago you forget but all and all it's a well done series and not normally the kind of thing I'd watch but I will finish 2 and see how I feel.
