Oh, I am watching this one!! *-* It's a great adaptation; I just didnt see everything because I wanted to read some of the books before >< the srceenwriting is pretty loyal to the Canon.

speaking of it, what about the new russian series of SH? I don't know when it'll air...

I had the pleasure of watching this entire russian series online with english subtitles long ago. Thank you for posting this!! it's got eng subtitles. It was VERY well written, especially the study in Scarlet one, where they first met. So handsome, those actors. I loved the episode where watson and holmes rode in their first horseless carriage. that was such a treat.

Unfortunately these have been removed, as have others I found on YouTube.
I tracked down the URL for the first episode from the comments on the video that swanpride linked to above, but I'm not sure if I should post it here in case it gets taken down! If anyone else is interested in watching it, drop me a PM.
I'm just starting to watch the first episode now, although I don't really have the time to watch it all today. Seeing Watson meeting Holmes for the first time (In ACD canon style) is giving me chills!

Ha, Watson just went to take a drink of water and there's an eyeball in the bottom of the glass

That was a very funny scene.
But when I was originaly watching it, I was surprised how meticulous the filmmakers were with their research of Victorian criminilogy and criminalistic.
The fact is, in that time there really was a supersticion between criminals that the retina of the eye of the murderer person retains the face of the murderer (or the other object last seen) like a photograph... so Sherlock´s scientific research concerning that supersticion actually makes sense.
