Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Truly Dreadful Film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The writing is good but could be better. I do hope that by season 2(Hopefully!) there's more focus on the story! :) Miss Sherlock's chemistry with Wato was the best part of the whole season one.

Loving Miss Sherlock and of course Watolock. Hoping for a season 2.

I'm a fan of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes for the longest time. The only adaptation that I personally approved was the first 3 season of Sherlock (potrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch) and I've seen all 4 seasons. I don't even like the movies. Now that's out of the way, let's get right down to it. 'Miss' Sherlock. It's in the title. Throughout the pilot, I noticed that they tried to copy a lot of things from the aforementioned drama instead from the original source. So, in essence, it's an adaptation of an adaptation. Without giving too much away, you'll find almost all the counterparts are of the same role in this drama (like how Lestrade is what-his-name and such) but you'll find that their characters are glaringly different. Am I the only one that find that Lestrade wannabe laughed too much that it's bordering to being creepy? The characters don't play the roles all that well. I find it's hard to think the Sherlock in this timeline to be brilliant. Observant, exceedingly off-puttingly weird, maybe, but not brilliant. Because the process of investigation shown in the pilot is CSI-like, not Holmes-like (Holmes nerds like me would know why). A background check and presto, you got the perp? I mean, really? I get why the pilot did not start of with Holmes and Watson's first case (if they actually do, then it's actually worse than I thought). Unfortunately there's no brilliance in this. Almost all the tricks were circumstantials and some behind the camera explanations. I like that it's trying to be different (female leads instead of males etc) but if you can't find good actors, directors and scriptwriters, you might as well save yourselves from embarassment and don't bother.

Ok so this comes from a normal guy who loved the fast pace and the way of filming "mind palace" done by RDJ & Benedict Cumberbatch in their adaptation of the character.
Lets get started
Miss Sherlock is weird , yes not is she.. likable/ funny (by me as spectator) ? i don't know what future episodes hold! but as far as episode 1 goes NO!
Is she portrayed as smart? yes but she made some blatant mistakes i am mad she did that (or let some thing happen)
I loved Wato-San though but the way she ends up being roommate with sherlock felt forced
you can notice the police investigator laughing without any reason in a scene, i wonder if they forgot to do montage!
Also the crying was cringeworthy in a scene that i had to fast forward that scene
in the end , i expected better from HBO, I expected better from Japan
(There is a famous brilliant japanese anime called Detective Conan that is inspired from the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the author of Sherlock Holmes and it disappoints me to watch this)
