If it ever crosses the Pond, I'll watch it, but I'm an Idris fangirl.

Worth getting hold of, since I missed it?
Hrm, probably. It's utterly cliche-ridden and filled with cartoon villains, but you can tell the whole cast are loving it. It should still be on BBC iPlayer I think.

Seska,
I watched "Luther" and I think it is pretty good until the last 2 or so episodes. It almost like the show went completely off the rails at a particular point and it never regained its footing. It was pretty decent until then.
The finale needed a Greek chorus.
I heard the ratings weren't great, so I don't think it will be back.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I hear the new BBC drama miniseries "Sherlock" is to be discussed here.
Andrea and I were quite amused.

I have yet to persuade The Girl, a Holmes fan of most traditional sensibilities, that she's going to enjoy it. Hoping Moffat wins her over soon, 'cause I want to see it.

I think the pleasure for an original Holmes fan would lie in knowing the stories and seeing how they've updated them. It's the sort of thing where I'm sure being a fan adds a whole other level.
Alternatively can't you just watch it by yourself...?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm pretty well up on the Holmes canon, and I thought it was great fun.

I have an impression that, knowing the Holmes canon well, I enjoyed it more than people who didn't get all the little references to the originals.

We just saw it. And yes, apparently knowing the Holmes canon well (and reference-spotting) helps. I was somewhat lost. But it's fun!
