New Sherlock Fan from Germany says hi
Hi everyone, Sherlockian newbie here... Watched Sherlock for the first time about 3 months ago over here on German TV and was totally blown away by it.
Sherlock and Cumbers aficionada ever since...
I also love Criminal Minds, Star Trek TOS, The Beatles, and books, loads of books...
Looking forward to meeting like-minded folk!

Re: New Sherlock Fan from Germany says hi
Thanks so much for your welcome!
Ah you're right, SolarSystem, watching Sherlock on German TV (in fact, watching anything non-German on German TV) is quite brave! German dubbing can be a bit not good...
But rest assured, I bought the DVDs the next day and watched it in its full rapid-fire English glory...

Re: New Sherlock Fan from Germany says hi
Yes, Pengwing, same thing 'happened' to me. First I saw it on German television, a few days later I bought the dvds. And it felt like a whole different show. At least now during S3 they finally decided to stop their Siezlock.

Welcome, Pengwing, nice to have you here! Buying the DVDs and watching the original did it for me as well. Have fun.

But, I confess, here it happened exactly the same way.

Re: New Sherlock Fan from Germany says hi
Imo the original version "just works better".
The dubbed version was entertaining for me but nothing more. The original one "hooked" me.
