Sherlock Holmes - 2013 - 7/10
AKA - Шерлок Холмс

Highly entertaining retelling of the canon.
Not that stories are faithful, they are respectful, yet differ in bold strokes.
The series is more Watson-centric, often told from his point of view.
He is not a stupid bumbler. Moreover, as ex-military, he knows how to use his revolver as well as his fists.
And yes, that revolver gets used with deadly accuracy. As do the police revolvers.
Yes, another difference, the police carry and use guns. At times, scenes resemble Tombstone rather than London.

Inspector Lestrade is a wily old fox, chastising Holmes, yet shrewdly using the detective.
While scenery is full Victorian, this London is more open, less cramped, and extraordinarily gritty.
Fans will have fun seeing what shards of stories are utilized in each episode.
