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.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Fab. Shall take a look.

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 bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
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!

Compassionately intolerant
I didn't get all the references, despite having the Compleat SH collection. It's been a long time, I suppose.
Still, I enjoyed it. I like Martin Freeman so much, I'd watch anything he's in. All the characters did a great job.
I am notorious for whitefonting when I needn't and not, when I should. What's the policy for aired bits here?
In the meanwhile:
The one thing I kept waiting for, was someone to mention 'the knowledge.' Just recently, I heard the fellow on NPR who is a London cabbie and described as one of the best read men alive. He kept popping into my mind even before Sherlock twigged to the cab thing.
All that brain power, gone wrong. heh.
