BBC's Sherlock: Series 2

[TheVileOne]

Moffat and Cumberbatch are being huge *****es over Elementary. It's stupid and childish.

What did they say?

Spoiler

I believe Moriarty is dead, but, he might return via flashback. It would be weird if they introduced Sebastian Moran - which seems very likely - without Moriarty.

Maybe because the show isnt needed and is a cheap knockoff?

A CBS TV-series budget is probably higher than the BBC counterpart.

And yet looks so much cheaper. Guess money can't buy quality.

In terms of its direct competition (i.e., other police procedurals on US TV) I think the show measures up. Sherlock has the advantage of three episodes constituting an entire season. Elementary has to produce 24.

So it measures up to bad television. Great? Sherlock is 3 films every 12 to 18 months, that are of high quality.

Quality over quantity.

Elementary started a few weeks ago here in Perth (Australia).

I gave the last program a miss and watched Downton Abbey - something that I wouldn't even consider for Sherlock! Season Three is highly anticipated.

Is there another Downey movie in the works?

I was thinking more in terms of generally well regarded procedurals like the Law & Order franchise, The Mentalist, White Collar, Criminal Minds, etc. Elementary holds up against those.

Now imo, Sherlock is the superior production all around (though, I wasn’t a particular fan of “The Hounds of Baskerville”). But acknowledging the preeminence of one doesn’t automatically reduce the other to crapola. I enjoy both.

They are both goods shows, just in very different ways.

 

[chamber-music]

The pilot epsiode of Sherlock cost £800,000 which is $1 million US Dollars so BBC Sherlock isn't a cheap show.

I like Elementary but it is basically a standard procedural show which just happens to feature Sherlock Holmes and his mythology.

Its not all that unique and doen't bring that originality as a Sherlock adaptaion. There has been a female Watson, Sherlock in America and a Sherlock in which the drug addict side has been played up more before on film and tv. If you changed the names of the characters it could be any procedural show of the last 20 years. I also feel Johnny Lee Miller is also the a weaker and less entertaining Sherlock than Cumberbatch and Downey Junior.

Saying all that as I said before I think Elementary is an ok show.

and BBC Sherlock is a masterpiece.

This show, the Hour, Luther prove that writing, acting, style, locations, etc. are all being done better by the BBC. I hate, that instead of the above... America wants as many episodes as possible, procedural the show, and cut costs on locations/sets/clothing.

Only current Dramas that compare in the US to BBC; are Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, and Shameless. But, that is mainly because AMC, Showtime, and HBO are our only hopes, stateside.

[O'Haire]

****ing awesome. Was worried series 3 would be the last. But knowing we are getting at least two more makes me very happy.

 

[chamber-music]

Cool

Filming is underway on series 3

The high demand for both Cumberbatch and Freeman also necessitated another scheduled break for “Sherlock’s” production cycle. The first two 90 minute episodes of season 3 will be filmed back-to-back before a hiatus over the summer in order to allow the two stars to get back to their film commitments. The third and final episode of the season will be filmed after the break.

Deadline is also reporting that Jeremy Lovering and Colm McCarthy are set to direct two of the three “Sherlock” episodes this season, with the third director currently unannounced.

“Sherlock” Season 3 is expected to debut on BBC One this winter, but a U.S. premiere could be pushed back into 2014, since PBS rarely airs international programs concurrently with their home country.

Surprised there will be a S4 but not complaining.

 

[antsman41]

Woohoo!!!!!!

 

[Wyrminarrd]

Good news, I really expected that season 3 would be the last given that the both the stars of the show have made it in Hollywood.

 

[Snow Queen]

YES! Just....YES!! There is no other way to react to that news. This is going to be great.

I hope this doesn't mean a cliffhanger ending for season 3...

I am not complaining though...

It does. I doubt they'll leave us with a normal ending, looking at their track record.
