Sherlock Part I

Hi everyone! It just occurred to me that you might not know about the show I mentioned in my first post: The Beginning.

Sherlock is a British television series that first aired in 2010. It currently has three seasons and will most likely return around Christmas 2014. Now I should tell you that each season only has three episodes per season. What?! You may be saying. Let me explain. An average Sherlock episode without commercials is one hour and twenty nine minutes. The episodes are centered around one particular case until its conclusion. Also Sherlock has a thing for cliffhangers that makes you just want to kill the creators of the show. *cough* Steven Moffat. *cough cough*

Now for the characters you see most often.

Sherlock Holmes - Sherlock is the only consulting detective in the world and solves crimes with the science of deduction. He is not an entirely pleasant fellow and often comes across as arrogant and rude. Fortunately through his friendship with John, his less pleasant attributes have been tempered slightly.

Dr. John Watson -  John was recently discharged from military service where he was a medical doctor in Afghanistan. His ex-therapist thought he suffered from PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder, but in actuality, John had grown accustomed to being in a battlefield. When he joined up with Sherlock, he discovered his calling.

D.I. Greg Lestrade -  Greg is a detective inspector for Scotland Yard. He might not have the brightest mind, but his heart is good and true. Though Greg and Sherlock clash often during cases, Greg holds Sherlock in high respect and views him as a friend.

Mycroft Holmes -  Mycroft is Sherlock's elder brother and is an official within the British government. He and Sherlock have been at odds since they were children. Mostly in part to Mycroft's belief that Sherlock is inferior and slow; in other words, an idiot.

Now for characters who pop in whenever they feel like it.

James 'Jim' Moriarty -  Jim is the world's only consulting criminal and is considered to be the arch nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. On more than one occasion, Jim has made life hell for Sherlock and John. As of now, he is believed to be dead, but just how long will the consulting criminal remain dead?

Irene Adler -  Irene, commonly known as 'The Woman', is a dominatrix and Sherlock's first love (though he never did admit to it out loud). She is both clever and thorough and certainly knows how to push Sherlock's buttons. John and Mycroft believe her to be dead, but in actuality, Sherlock saved her life and faked her execution. Current whereabouts are unknown.

Mary Watson -  Mary is John's wife and friend to Sherlock Holmes. Mary, however, has a dark and dangerous past which was once used against her to control Sherlock and John. When her secret was discovered, John put aside her past and accepted her by saying "The problems of your past is your business. The problems of your future is my privilege".

That wraps things up for now. Later cats.
