Legend has it that there is a dangerous fandom called 'Sherlock'. When you enter this fandom you never come back. You are put under the spell of Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Scott. Their evil controller Steven Moffat will entrance you in rage of his evil cleverness. Sherlock is a modern version of the famous stories by Sir Arthur conan Doyle. Moffat takes these stories to a new level...

Bringing out he best of British T.V., the Beeb brought us Sherlock, starring the gorgeous Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and the adorable Martin Freeman as John Watson.
The series is mainly set in the modern day London. We still have 221B and, of course, Mrs Hudson (Una Stubbs) as well as our other favourite characters such as D. I. Lestrade (Rupert Graves), Mycroft Holmes (Mark Gatiss) and James "Jim" Moriarty (Andrew Scott).
"I'm going to watch Sherlock tonight on the T.V. I've been waiting ages for this new series!"
