We all like to watch movies, But there is one thing that is kind of annoying about them, they end quick! Of course a movie has to end but some people like me like to watch things for a little longer. I do not want to spend time thinking what to watch again and again. Instead, I want to spend more time watching and less time thinking. This is where T.V or Web series come to our rescue. Unlike a movie, T.V or Web series last longer [ Obviously ] and we can have more fun. For those of you who like mystery which would make you think and a plot which would hold you on the edge of your seat, I have dug up something nice for the detectives out there who like to work their brain on a mystery while eating some popcorn! Read on......

The Plot
A rather peculiar man, Sherlock Holmes, who calls himself a ‘Consulting Detective’, he is very well the best detective there is. Born with a next level observation, his eyes miss nothing. Not even the smallest details, Whether it may be expressions or bread crumbs on one's shirt. He spends all his time helping the London police department to solve crimes or sitting in his apartment thinking and thinking. He cannot do everything alone, he has a trusty sidekick- John Watson who has returned from military service. It does not take much time for John to become friends with Sherlock and also his flatmate. Sherlock might think that his observation and intelligence is undefeatable until he comes across a criminal, As peculiar as Sherlock himself. He sets riddles for Sherlock to solve, Sherlock has fun playing the criminal’s little game. But it's not a game anymore, neither is it fun. Sherlock has to stop him. Solving the riddles step by step, he tries to outwit the criminal. Does he succeed? You shall see for yourself.
The Review
Sherlock is a fast paced series that is creatively made to make the viewers think about the suspense and the plot. It is exciting and fun to watch. Some parts might be a little talkative but skipping them is not a good idea. Every scene might contain a clue not to miss. The series is set in London and the scenes with the scenery are captured in a way to make it look beautiful. The scenery and the weather shown in the series matches the plot and sets an appropriate mood. The protagonist, Sherlock Holmes played by Benedict Cumberbatch is serious and amusing at the same time. At times he is thinking with a serious face and the next second cracking a joke or making the audience laugh with his peculiarity. He lightens the mood along with John Watson’s sarcasm from time to time when the plot gets serious. The supporting actors make the experience better for the viewers. The background and the intro themes play an important role in triggering certain feelings in the audience. The intro theme gives a rather mysterious feeling and describes the theme of the content. The background score played from time to time gives an exciting feeling like something is about to happen and it suits the situation. Over all, I would say that it is a Binge-Worthy show to watch.
