Sherlock

Just watched Sherlock on iPlayer; it's pretty good.

The characters and milieu translate very well to the modern day. It's a bit depressing to think that we're still fighting a war in Afghanistan over a hundred years later.
I liked all the references back to the books and might have to have a re-watch to see what others I could spot. They lampshaded Watson's wandering wound, as also Holmes' cocaine habit.
The murder method was slightly disappointing, but at least Moriarty was introduced. I was surprised that Mycroft was actually Mycroft, but in hindsight he could hardly have been anyone else. The umbrella should have been a give-away.
