Sherlock UK
Hi:
I'm an American fan and new to this site and am interested in talking with UK fans about their perspectives on the show. Any takers?

Re: Sherlock UK
What I find fascinating about the appeal of Sherlock is that American television shows are so boring and typical in comparison. The Sherlock/John theme would NEVER be explored or played with to the level it is on a BBC show...

Re: Sherlock UK
What I love about British shows is that they're usually a lot more down to earth and less "glossy" than most American TV shows. And in some ways they're maybe also a bit more prone to trying something new and innovative, whereas I feel most US shows follow the same concepts and rather go with what they know than try out something that's not been done before.

Re: Sherlock UK
Welcome to the forum, MASK!
I really have become a fan of British television and especially productions by the BBC.
Nevertheless I have also seen some pretty amazing US shows recently (well, more or less recently). "House of Cards" comes to mind (and okay, I know it has been done for the internet), "Boardwalk Empire", "Hannibal", "Six Feet Under", "Lost", "24".... I'm sure there's more and I'm just forgetting about it right now.

Re: Sherlock UK
Welcome to the forum, MASK 
I watch both British and American productions. When I want a new story and complicated characters - like TeeJay said, BBC. Pure entertainment and lots of episodes - US I symplified it but it's not far from truth for me.
