Sherlok Kholms

Probably the best version of Sherlock Holmes in the last twenty years. Igor Petrenko is totally believable as a young eclectic genius trapped in a world that cannot feed his need for intellectual stimulus quickly enough. he is fragile, nervous, shy, brave, infatuated and clever all at the same time - only the Russians could pull that off.

The complex relationship between Sherlock; the aspiring but plodding writer, Dr Watson, torn into shreds both physically and emotionally through his experience in Afghanistan - and the extraordinary subliminal attraction of Mrs Hudson draws you into an insular world more closely confined, more inexplicable, more intriguing than any previous series.

Terrific production values, supporting cast, complex and fascinating stories - what more could you want. This is gold dust.

Dint had much expectations when I started it. I am a great Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle fan and anything which involve them directly or indirectly, i cant wait to watch. However, this being a russian language show, did gave me some reluctance. But, by God, it was worth. The first episode itself absorbed me and took me to deep level of concentration and mystery.

Very good deduction techniques, all the characters did great job, a little humor inbetween was like masala to curry and Moriarty, as always, was antagonist. A must watch.

I have no idea why would this purported movie authors would have decided to offend Sherlock legacy this bad, but they seem having succeeded.

This is the most abominable piece of cinema I have ever seen. Poor production, foul actors play, bad scenery, the list goes on.

Special thanks to actor selection team.Who would have ever thought Boyarsky makes a good Lestreight?The worst pick of all possible.Sherlock actor possesses charisma and acting abilities of a jelly bean.Dr.Watson's actor voice and diction are lifeless and barely comprehensible.

It's absolutely everything bad about this movie.

This is a marvelous series. At first startling in its dissimilarity to Western productions, it quickly draws the viewer in to its rich interpretation of the material. And yes, this is an entirely fresh and different interpretation of the very familiar material. We are constantly treated to exciting new plot twists, too.

A seamless, ensemble production, the highly competent actors are unrestrained; sets and costumes are beautiful and lavish. Direction, cinematography, editing--no problems at all.

Highly recommended; most enjoyable.

In my opinion, one of the best miniseries on the subject, and certainly an excellent Russian production. The staging and scenery is top-notch, and manage to transform one to the late Victorian era. Am looking forward to a repeat watching!
