The dynamic between Sherlock and Watson was what made this show so special to me, but Andrew Scott's turn as Moriarty was the icing on the cake.

[@JeffKelly03]

I hated his take on Moriarty at first, but upon rewatches, I've absolutely come to appreciate and enjoy it and now I can't imagine it being done any other way in this show. (It helps that I've become more familiar with Andrew Scott in other projects, like Fleabag, since initially seeing Sherlock and that's deepened my appreciation for how good he really is.)

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

This Sherlock interpretation wasn't my favorite, but Benedict was phenomenal. What's crazy was Andrew Scott was even better. He stole every scene.

I didn't find out that Andrew Scott was gay until years after Sherlock so watching this reaction and hearing Sherlock remark to Molly "You're boyfriend's clearly gay!" is even funnier now, a little inside joke that I wonder if Andrew had a part in writing.

The mid to late 2000s gave audiences 3 distinct versions of Holmes and Watson story with Sherlock's Cumberbatch and Freeman, Sherlock Holmes' Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, and Elementary's Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. These 3 tellings of Sherlock Holmes are so different from one another that I was able to thoroughly enjoy each one as a separate medium without having to play the game of "choosing the best version or why this one is good and this one isn't."

[@inarar5334]

The stories tend to be retelling of the originals, like this was originally A Study in Scarlet. The gag with Anderson and Rache being German for revenge was a nod to the original solution. It got thrown out there nearly immediately so audiences familiar with the original story will catch on they're reimagining the plot.

Jeremy Brett turns in his grave

[@vissenekku]

@@glennoble9637 Jeremy Brett's Holmes was soooo good. It was so true to the books and it was also such a fun show to watch.

[@hammerman199374]

This show was created and written by Mark Gatiss (who also plays Sherlock's brother Mycroft) and Steven Moffat. Moffat is known for creating other shows in the UK over the years but is probably best known for being the showrunner of Doctor Who throughout Matt Smith's and Peter Capaldi's tenures as The Doctor. Moffat also wrote some of the more memorable Doctor Who episodes during Chris Eccleston's and David Tennant's tenures. In fact, at one point he was running both Doctor Who and Sherlock at the same time! Many of the Sherlock episodes also give Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writing credit as well, because many of the episodes are adaptations loosely based on his original stories, but with changes and plot twists made so that those familiar with the originals (like myself, I read them all as a kid) can experience a completely new version of them. By doing this Gatiss and Moffat were able to make a popular modernization of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson that succeeded where many other attempts at similar "updating" of the classic characters have failed. BTW, if you find you like Sherlock well enough, I highly recommend the BBC Sherlock Holmes series of the 1980's and early 90's starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes. They are very faithful adaptations of the original stories and Conan Doyle's family endorsed Jeremy Brett as the quintessential Holmes.

[@TheJrr71]

Brett was brilliant, but I still prefer Rathbone. Or maybe it was Nigel Bruce as Watson, which made the films so great.

[@richardathome65]

Slight correction: the Jeremy Brett series (which is probably the definitive Sherlock Holmes set in the original period) was a Granada TV production, not BBC .

[@HLByron]

Many felt Moffat's welcome was overstayed on Doctor Who, but regardless of how he is as a showrunner, it has to be emphasised that he wrote some of the best episodes of Doctor Who ever, Blink, Silence in the Library, Beast Below, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances - all very recommended! Also those Sherlock Holmes shows were made by ITV, a different (private/commercial) British broadcaster

[@Jordashian93]

The cleverness of the writing, the charm of Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson, the wit of the visuals, the sheer all-encompassing magnificence of it... Everything about it is perfect. Even the score is amazing.

[@SonicMegaKing]

What cleverness?

[@mareiramv]

@@SonicMegaKing the deductions and adaptations they made to transfer Sherlock's character to a new era. The explanation to his deductions are pretty believable, especially in a first time watching it and his character is very captivating. Based on your stand out type of comment I'm guessing you're one of the people who doesn't like the show and overanalyze everything. If that really is the case, that will ruin your enjoyment of every single thing you watch, as it would ruin it with this show in particular. Nothing is perfect and every story can be stupid or inconsistent at times.

[@ramteja1550]

​​​​@@mareiramvmany people didn't like the show, I watched it with an open mind and still give it a 7 out of 10, bringing an old character into a current era is just as difficult as the opposite, even with good writing, this is evident by the MULTIPLE plotholes or side storylines being abruptly ended in later seasons due to the CONVENIENT existence of the internet and technology, leading to the series being stopped/cancelled for continuation. You can LITERALLY find anyone's address or phone number or their name from the internet RIGHT NOW if you have the skills, so this should've been a "hacker" series instead of "detective" series, then people will watch it with a different expectations and remain satisfied without offending BOTH haters and fans

[@mareiramv]

@@ramteja1550 the existence of the internet didn't cancelled the show. In fact, a lot was being debated about the making of season 5. Moffat even said that if the actors agree with the idea they could do it, which means the BBC could go on with this particular version of the character. Have you looking for people's adress or phone number in the internet lately? Could you give me Hailee Steinfeld number? I'm asking for a friend. No, but being serious now. No jokes... Adresses could totally be a problem, despite the internet, because the big bad of the show is Moriarty, someone who controls crime and escapes justice despite a lot of very important people (Mycroft) being against him. Hidding an adress wouldn't be a problem if that was the case, but good thing the series isn't about finding adresses, but the contained mystery of this one super smart detective. Plot holes and little conviniences can happen anywhere, as long as they don't ruin the fun with the show, it's all good. Nat seems very invested in the characters and story so far, I had a good time watching it and a lot of people did too. In a first watch, you can buy what they are selling, but if you overanalyze things, you will never have fun. Also, can you give an exemple of sidestory they INTERRUPTED? Because everyone had their ending by the end of season 4.

[@asverith]

​@@mareiramvbut that's not the truth. In the beginning most of his deductions do work, we see how he arrives at some of the conclusions, but some of them are already... questionable. As the show goes on, there's less and less "explanations". He just makes leaps, huuuge conjectures which just so happen to be right nearly everytime.

[@bidishah]

[@primmoore6232]

It's amazing how so much of the original stories written over a century ago translated into our time. Dr. Watson did serve in Afghanistan. The first tale was "A Study in Red" and another called, "The Five Orange Pips," proving the show runners are total Sherlock nerds. Delightful series with creepy villains! Keep watching and reviewing, Nat. We're here watching with you!

[@TarisSinclair]

"A Study In Scarlet". But yes, the makers drew more than a few parallels and made a lot of respectful bows to the original books. Watson's Afghan service was one - the fact that there were two wars in Afghanistan, one at the time of the original characters, and one at the time of the show is just a breathtaking coincidence and opportunity for that reference. As for Moriarty, I think the description everyone's looking for is "playful". That's the best way I can describe his sing-song "No you won't" quip. Andrew Scott made Prof. Moriarty quite playful, contrary to the original character of very serious, distinguished, extremely strict Victorian gentleman.

[@thatfilmydesaikid]

@@TarisSinclair [w.r.t. what you said about Scott's Moriarty] I think it was something of a masterstroke to write him that way coz, if I'm not wrong, the OC (original character) was a Mathematician by profession who had a thing for crime. And he too had a tendency to lose his mind if his machinations didn't go as planned. Scott's version doesn't have the former; he's simply a criminal mastermi--- I mean _consulting_ criminal mastermind who seems to derive immense pleasure from seeing horrific events unfold that were orchestrated by him in some way or the other, and while he does show the same tendency when he sees that he could lose, Scott's way of portraying it seemed to be exasperation more/rather than rage, or a mix but tilted in a 55/45 ratio (that was my takeaway from the rooftop subplot in the finale of S2). All of that to say, this interpretation, IMO, was a decent way, if not as brilliant, to show a contemporary audience that this is what Holmes could be if pushed just enough. His 'coworkers' always seemed to expect him to tilt to the other way, but to see it actually happen would no doubt be hell, unless they pulled some absolutely simple trick that would frustrate him to no end coz it'd be so dull/boring. 😂

[@montanarose-sings]

I am THRILLED that you're reacting to this! There aren't a lot of Sherlock reactions out there, and for as much of a reputation it and the fans have now, I was OBSESSED at the time. This show had a chokehold in fandom spaces for years lmao. If you're looking for a fun follow-up after Sherlock, I HIGHLY recommend Good Omens. It stars Michael Sheen (Aro from Twilight) and David Tennant (Killgrave from Jessica Jones) as an angel and a demon respectively, trying to thwart the impending apocalypse. It's based on a novel by Neil Gaiman (author of the Coraline book) and Terry Prachett, and it's super fun religious satire, and it's funny and cleverly written and whimsical, and the chemistry between the two leads is STELLAR (they've since become really good friends irl). And season 2 just dropped, and GIRLIE. Talk about a chokehold on its fandom, that s2 finale was INTENSE. I really think you'd love it. 💕

The way Andrew Scott delivers the 2 lines "Jim Moriarty.... hiiiiii" and "that's what people DO!!!!" so differently really demonstrates both sides of his portrayal of Moriarty's terrifying personality and perfectly encapsulates what makes him so brilliant and why so many people on the internet latched onto that character at the time of the show's run.

[@Bigfish92]

If you want more Benedict Cumberbatch I would recommend The Imitation Game. One of my favorite movies of his for sure.

[@xzonia1]

Agreed!

[@krashd]

In 2014 Eddie Redmayne burst into existence with a portrayal of Stephen Hawking in the Oscar-winning biopic The Theory of Everything, but ten years earlier there was a made-for-TV movie called Hawking where Benedict played Stephen and in my opinion Benedict's portrayal was much better. Also in 2004 he was still a young nubbin with only a handful of random TV appearances under his belt so Hawking was his first big project where he played the title role and had top billing, it would be another decade before he would become a household name after small parts in films like Atonement and The Other Boleyn Girl, but back in 2004 as a 20 year old Stephen Hawking you could clearly see how talented he was.

Yes they have great chemistry but that doesn't mean they're in love and I know it shouldn't bother me but it does because it's the only thing people say

[@tatianamelendez490]

@ridersinblack3335 I totally understand when people say it's a strong friendship or that Sherlock is asexual. It's a totally valid reading. However, for me personally, there was so much sexual and romantic tension between the two that, coupled with all the gay jokes in the show itself (especially ep 1 of season 2), I found it impossible to see Sherlock as purely asexual. I saw him more as strongly demisexual, maybe bi- romantic, and John was the only one who got through his barriers.

[@jermanijohnson.3481]

i absolutely adored this series! I HOPE YOU LOVE! just as much as I did, i totally geeked out and loved every merry aspect of it. 💗

[@Polyphemus89]

OMG YES!!! My favorite show of all time, can’t wait for you to experience this! The second series might be the best thing ever put on television.

[@Polyphemus89]

@mud6992 you’re not my buddy, guy!

[@astaricn]

Sherlock is totally my all time fav show, it’s perfect

[@sarcasmxkate]

I LOVE this. Watson is THE best. Martin Freeman is a treasure. And Benedict is phenomenal in this role.

[@scottlbroco]

What a pleasant surprise to find that you're reviewing "Sherlock", Natalie! Your review of season one was nicely done. The show's creators changing of the time period to the twenty-first century was an inspired twist, and Sherlock's brilliant writing and acting make it easily one of my all-time favorite tv shows. The first season is good, but beginning with season 2, the show gets great. There's jaw dropping moments that you'll never see coming. I've recommended this show to six people and they've all loved it. Can't wait to see your reactions to what's coming.

[@simianinc]

I hope you do Season 2. That *really* takes it up a level

[@djlow9915]

Nat will be wrapping up season 2 on her Patreon this week 😊

[@markkringle9144]

One of the cool bits, is in the original books, Watson was a veteran of Afghanistan, from the 1800s Brirish campaign.

[@weirds0up]

If you enjoy this, you should give Elementary a go. It’s another modern take on Sherlock Holmes staring Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson. It’s a little more grounded and less “Holmes is superhero”

[@xzonia1]

Agree 😊

[@gabbymouse8197]

What a great surprise for a tv show. Not many if anyone commentaries on Sherlock. Love both actors and episode 4 just gets even better!

[@ThomasGibson-k2i]

Excited to see you watch this. Might be an idea to watch the first two series and end it there though. As with most things Moffat touches - they tend to get progressively more ridiculous and suffer as a result.

[@fayesouthall6604]

I actually like season 3 but 4 lost me.

[@honeybunnyhanni1931]

Can't wait for you to watch the next season. The very next episode you're gonna watch is my favorite out of the entire show

[@MajaZaguan]

I'm so happy that someone is finally reacting to this fantastic series, thank you so much! 💙

[@DavidWilliams-nm5jv]

With this show, you're SUPPOSED to be confused some times during the episode - that (usually) represents when Sherlock is also confused or an observer would be confused and Sherlock is about to reveal something.

[@topshelfpeanutbutter]

Wooo! I love this series. I’m so glad you’re checking it out.

[@9401maru]

This series for me was a huge letdown in the long run, but the first two seasons? **chef's kiss** Happy you liked it!

[@theshadowfax239]

Why are people like you so rude and trying to spoil others? Are you just incapable of keeping your mouth shut? 🙄

[@emmavandendool6877]

I loved it all the way throughhhh

[@Spearhead78]

I get your feelings. I also had more and more problems as time hand seasons progressed. I guess the final blow came after I saw the video by hbomberguy.

[@montanarose-sings]

I was okay with the third season too tbh. It definitely wasn't as good as the first two, and in hindsight really signalled the beginning of the end for the show, but the second episode was really charming and I think the third ep was so good that it brought it back around somewhat. S4 was practically irredeemable though (besides a few good scenes in ep 2)

[@stephstarsshine]

Same! S1 and S2 are some of the best episodes of any show ever! S4 on the other hand…. 😓

[@regsswimteacher3048]

you doing a sherlock reaction is everything I ever needed

[@alexanderren1097]

I’m a big fan if the books and absolutely love this show. Despite the more modern setting, this is THE most book accurate portrayal of Sherlock Holmes ever made. And no, I’m not Steven Crowder so you CANNOT change my mind

[@alongstorycutshort]

So fun watching someone experience this for the first time! The show had its problems but I really am still fond of it. We waited like a year and a half after that cliffhanger when it first aired lol. Enjoy the ride.

[@UmbralDawn]

I know this is a couple months old, but Martin freeman as bilbo in the hobbit is amazing. And even though everyone hates on the hobbit trilogy, I absolutely loved the first two movies. Highly recommend

[@byronabrahams871]

Three weeks ago I went looking for some reactions to Sherlock, and now you're doing it. Amazing! Just anote: Sherlock not knowing the earth going round the sun is callback to the original stories. There are tons of callbacks for Holmes fans.

[@artxzay3300]

Andrew Scott is fantastic in this. I love all the little things in the way Moriarty talks and acts.

[@harrdeeharr]

If you like Martin Freeman, you should watch season 1 of the tv series Fargo. He’s brilliant in it

[@erinestes4880]

Second the suggestion for Fargo. Season 1 is amazing!

[@clarasundqvist6013]

I haven't seen Fargo, but he's brilliant in Breeders. I had no idea what to expect going in, and Martin *shines* in certain scenes

[@VivianReads]

FARGO is a masterpiece in acting & cinematography!

[@6DogNight]

I am so excited to see you react to this. I'm always surprised that more reactors don't watch it. Such an amazing show. Watching it as it aired on TV and then having to wait..and wait...and wait for the next season was so much fun. Especially for the fans on Tumblr. We were the Fandom Who Waited.

[@jRoy7]

This is a great series! So few people react to it. What a treat today. :)

[@robertrouse4503]

In the books written during the Victorian age by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, it was Watson wo is narrating the stories. In this modern version, they changed it to a blog, Moriarty is Holmes' arch enemy. It was he who shot the woman at the end of the second episode.

[@Blue777Dragon]

I think other people mentioned it down below, it would be an absolute treat to get you to watch Dr. Who. So many amazing actors made small appearances on that show, such as Andrew Garfield and Olivia Coleman. It's a long one, even watching the modern series, but if you had the time it'd be incredible

[@fayesouthall6604]

Dr who 2005 onwards is fantastic 😊

[@welcometothetroyiverse8864]

Sherlock was such a great show. So happy you’re reacting to it. I hope you continue posting the rest of the series.

[@morianblackmore5422]

GIRL!! You surprised me with this one and I am NOT disappointed! Such an underrated show! Love this, and can't wait for more

[@giggling_boatswain]

The Queen of England awarded the Russian film about Sherlock Holmes for the most accurate portrayal of the image of Sherlock Holmes. The portrait of this Russian actor hangs in the museum as an example of the Sherlock Holmes type. The Russians have made several films based on Conan Doyle's books. They are gorgeous.

[@TotallySquirrel]

Oh my gosh I never expected this! Don't think I've ever watched someone's reaction to this before! Man it's been years since I've seen this! Loved it way back then... I am _not_ looking up the year... I already feel old enough. Super excited to see what you think!!!

[@ruieito]

Right?! I feel like people dont react to Sherlock enough. It’s such a good series.

[@parfshafa]

Finally! Finally someone doing this show, Sherlock isn't popular in reactions for some reason. Oh my god I'm so excited to see all these reactions🎉 ❤

[@josefhorndl3469]

What a nice surprise. Sherlock is one of the few TV-shows, I can rewatch again and again. Please don't miss the movie "Sherlock: The Abominable Bride" between season 3 and 4.

[@elleBwsr]

Masterpiece!

[@Lunaow]

i can't believe you're watching sherlock for the first time and reacting to it when I JUST started rewatching it again;nice timing

[@kevincarvalho5054]

Oh man, you are in for such a great journey. This show is fantastic!

[@BrandonDuckett]

After this, JEKYLL. From 2007. Similar treatment, modern day telling of a classic story. It's 1 season and I LOVE IT.

[@ogrosch4568]

I loved the books and this is the best adaptation i ever saw. Cumberbatch and Freeman are a dreamteam.

[@nesleehan5]

The last season turned me off so I never went back to this show but watching this video reminded me how much I loved the earlier seasons! Martin Freeman is one of my favorite british actors and I really love his Watson. Amazing character!

[@JackMellor498]

I would definitely love the day that you do Doctor Who, or give it a chance. Sherlock was created and written by Steven Moffat, who was also head writer and showrunner of Doctor Who at the time, so the two share a connection. In terms of a long show to get into, you’ve done it before with GoT, you could totally do it with Who. Perhaps start with Eccleston and the revived series 1.

[@b.tettenborn5986]

Yesyesyesyesyes

[@AdrianChazz]

I mean... At least those top episodes, rightttt?? ALLONS-Y....!! . _Hey, who turned out the lights?_ 💀

[@theadamabrams]

DW is great, but if Natalie wants a short show, BBC's _Jekyll_ is a mini-series also made by Moffat, and it's really good.

[@kuivia]

@@AdrianChazz Man I miss David Tennants doctors

[@waywarddeee]

I would love that

[@averagejoe845]

Most people don't know how much influence Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has had in modern day forensic science. Doyle is given much credit for inspiring actual science.

[@scipio7837]

This is a magnificent series you will come to love. Jeremy Brett is an amazing Holmes too and Robert Downey Jr. is also amazing. All different, but true to Sir Arthur's vision. The game is afoot.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

Rathbone was best

[@johnpaullogan1365]

after him was this then probably johnny lee miller. RDJ's take i really truly despised. don't get me wrong I like RDJ but his Holmes and Doolittle were both pretty darn bad

[@scipio7837]

@@johnpaullogan1365 I enjoyed RDJ. Big Brett fan and as much as I like C. Lee... meh.I respect RDJ isn't the most respected, but loved the steampunk vibe of the two movies. JL Miller was brilliant as a recovering addict, but not sure Nat wants to get into just TV

[@michaelatteberry6462]

I forgot how much fun this series is. Your personality is perfect for this

[@thomasdalgaard4747]

In the original books Moriarty is the mirror of Sherlock Holmes. Just as smart, but uses his genius for evil. Andrew Scott is brillant as Moriarty. You are in for a treat. Quality in every episode. The mix of action, suspence and humour is spot on. Enjoy. 👍🏻😊

[@bidishah]

I love how much you're enjoying the humour, Natalie. I'm so excited to revisit this show with you. The Mind Palace will always be iconic.

[@straightuphating1013]

Highly recommend the Robert Downey Jr movie's their so weird and goofy it's great
