Amazing Season 3 of SHERLOCK!
The third season (or series as they call them in the U.K.) answers in the first episode what happened in the final episode of season 2. Each season of SHERLOCK is three 90-minute feature length episodes. Each season is complete on 2 Blu-ray disc sets. Set in current day, the performances of Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and the rest of the cast are top notch. Humor and intrigue mix perfectly especially with the give and take between Holmes and Watson. I have a 60-inch Samsung 3D television, and the images from the Blu-ray discs are amazing. The audio is superb. I know I can watch these episodes on TV, but this is like owning a fine set of literature that you can return to anytime you wish. This set, as well as Seasons 1 & 2 are well worth your purchasing.

My teenage daughter is crazy about this!
The acting is great, the plots are deep, but the best thing about this fantastic series on BBC is that there is this Big Bang Theory/Sheldon Cooper type of humor, where Sherlock Holmes the genius is absolutely clueless (ha!) when it comes to women, sarcasm, relationships, humor, social cues, etc., so he is the Dr. Sheldon Cooper of BBT, and he needs John Watson (the Leornard character on BBT) to help him navigate actual life. Smart, witty, clever and way cool!
You say, "only 3 episodes in a season?" Well, these are feature length stories with quality scripts and some remarkable cinematography. Cumberbatch is brilliant in his character's self defined "high functioning sociopath" persona, which I think works perfectly for Sherlock. I am a fan also of Elementary, the current network version of Sherlock Holmes. BBC's character has a joie de vivre in his work that is very different from CBS' darkly driven one. The rapport been Holmes and Watson feels natural and true which really makes the show work. This is a very different as a series. Instead of a dozen or so episodes where the story is broken up between all or a few, these feel like three complete movies. I won't give anything away, but there is a mind blowing scene in this season where someone is shot, that you'll want to replay a few times. I would definitely start with season 1, tho if you've not seen them. ;-)
