An extremely exciting series in the Victorian era. Thewlis embodies Scherlock Holms very well and is ideal for this role. The other characters are also interestingly chosen and contribute to the entertainment. The series starts slowly with several puzzles arising and the tension increases from episode to episode (I've only seen 6 episodes). The focus is on the investigative work and uses various techniques (flashbacks, analyses, notes, etc.) which are clearly presented to the viewer. The character development is also nice to see and gives the series more depth. The locations and costumes are very realistic and are based on the settings of Holm's books, which creates a fantastic atmosphere. A very great series!
