Sherlocked

I can't seem to get over with my obsession on BBC's Sherlock. So I may keep on posting about this although I have great movies to review like The Muppets or Chronicle or even Haywire. This time around, I'm going to make a list (again), now ranking Sherlock's episodes from the least good to the best (this is not elementary and this is harder than rocket science). For those of you who have no idea whatsoever about this, Sherlock is a modern update on the famous super-sleuth created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This version stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, Martin Freeman as John Watson. Joining the cast are Rupert Graves, Lara Pulver and Andrew Scott. The series is created by Steven Moffat of Doctor Who and Mark Gatiss who also stars as Mycroft. This list will be updated in 2013/Third Series premiere ;)

6. The Blind Banker
Series 1 - Episode 2

It's not bad, really. Every episode in this series is amazing, but this one is the weakest. It's supposed to be one of those stories that appears in a montage. However it's great to actually see John on a date. But there's one scene that is straight silly, where John leaves Su Lin to help Sherlock, resulting in Su Lin's death. That mistake is unacceptable for a colleague of Sherlock Holmes. Also, no Lestrade.

5. A Study in Pink
Series 1 - Episode 1

Again, ending up in fifth place doesn't mean it's not good but the others are more superior. This episode is the episode that makes us want to come and join Sherlock's adventure and a great case too. The meeting between Sherlock and John is epic in its own proportions.

4. The Hounds of Baskerville
Series 2 - Episode 2

Maybe it's because this episode came out after we saw the amazing Irene Adler and we learnt that she's not returning in this one. However, the mystery of the 'hounds' is mesmerizing and also we get to see John doing more investigation. The highlight of this episode is the fireplace scene, where Sherlock tries to cope with his new emotion.

3. The Great Game
Series 1 - Episode 3

Sherlock vs. Moriarty: First Encounter. From this one we could see that Moriarty is twisted and insane. And the game is not the one you want to miss. Nice ending to the episode, but a bummer continuation afterwards. Anticlimactic, I say, but that's on the next episode.

2. A Scandal in Belgravia
Series 2 - Episode 1

The formula: Benedict Cumberbatch + Lara Pulver = jawdrop awesomeness.
Two words: Irene Adler. She outwits Sherlock in one case, she got that with one look. And that's definitely the new sexy. Also, here we can actually see Sherlock Holmes wearing his signature deer stalker for the first time in the series. Nothing else to say, this one is incredible. /AAH/ <- text alert ;)

1. The Reichenbach Fall
Series 2 - Episode 3

Sherlock vs. Moriarty: Part Two. {spoiler alert!} For once, you believe Sherlock is a fake, but we all agree that no one can be such an ass all the time. Kudos to Moriarty who brought Sherlock to his tears. The best bit of this episode is Sherlock's vulnerability.

That new American Sherlock Holmes modern day reboot is going to suck. CBS can suck a rock if they really make Elementary, no offense to Jonny Lee Miller. [none taken says him] Creativity please, Americans!
