Only three, but each one is pretty much feature film length. And the third one is a stunner!

Martin Freeman: loved him in Love, Actually. You HAVE seen it, right? He's nekkid!

Benedict Cumberbatch: Yeah, I'd hit that. A couple times. Per hour.

Are there any new New Sherlock's yet? The original batch was rad.

Count me in as a fan of the Sherlock series. And you're right, Flippy, Heather and I are seriously considering naming our next chihuahua Benedict Cumberbatch.

So I am watching the new Sherlock on Netflix, and so far absolutely LOVING IT. It's a modern take on the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, but very effectively captures the spirit of the old stories, even though they also clearly take it in a new direction.

Sounds interesting. I just had Bill add it to our queue.

There are more in production, thank heaven. I'm really loving this new take on Sherlock, as well. Cumberbatch is fabulous and hilarious, too when warranted.

I also LOVED him in the National Theatre's production of Frankestein. :snap:

The new Poirot's on Mystery started well last week. Excellent production values as always and David Suchet as Poirot, what's not to like?

Could have sworn I posted here but I guess not.

The new series (also just 3 episodes) airs on BBC in August. Don't know how long the delay to the states will be (it was 3 months for series 1 to get to PBS).

I really enjoyed series 1 but it also felt like something that might get old quick. But I'll ride it until it does.

Good name. For a cat dressed up like a chihuahua.

Is this summer the battleground for worst-reviewed movies ever, and no one told me?

I don't recall ever seeing such a string of critical uber-stinkers.
