Sherlock, S1 Ep1

Sherlock : S1 Ep1

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here's the review (so expected since I had promised you since July, but I didn't have the time because of Camp NaNoWriMo and then moving into my little studio) of the first episode in the first series of Sherlock. Anyways, without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

A Study In Pink

So, I am going to do a #InThreeWords review series for Sherlock... let's get started with the three words I have picked for this episode !

Introduction : Since this is the very first episode, we get introduced to the characters that everybody knows if they have read a little bit of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. There is Sherlock Holmes, the consultant detective, and John Watson, an army doctor coming back from Afghanistan. Together, they move in with Miss Hudson, the landlady, and investigate on crimes with Detective Inspector Lestrade. Sherlock and John are very soon having stuff together and, as Mycroft said, at this rate, ''there could be a happy announcement by the end of the week''. Anyways, the dynamics between them is starting and I'm willing to go through it all once again to get the feels !

Warning : In this episode, we can see Mycroft, Sherlock's brother, picking up John and asking him to give some information to have some money, since he doesn't have much because of his army pension. John refuses (even if Sherlock says that he should have accepted just for the money, but I feel like Watson had a strong core of values that he wouldn't change for), and then, Mycroft warns John about Sherlock, as much as Sally, who thinks he's a psychopath and that he will kill someday, just for the fun of it. But in the end, John stays with Sherock, and compliments him on his deductions, which no one else does. After all, he's just a sociopath, not a psychopath, right ?

Cabbie : In this episode, the serial killer is a taxi driver who picks up with people and talk to them into a choice, between two identical pills, one of which is good and the other one bad. Basically, a fifty-fifty medical roulette that four people have already lost. In the end of the episode, Sherlock had to do the same, but he is interrupted by John basically saving his life by killing the serial killer. He just has the time to tell the name of his sponsor, Moriarty, before he dies. (Which leads me to saying : why the fucking hell would a man save someone he just met the day before and is very concerned about him, to the point where he asks Mycroft if he's that concerned about Sherlock ? Silly Moffat, you'll kill us with your innuendos and subtext, URGH !!!)

Overall impression : Just the first episode and already a master-piece, but seriously, all the gay subtext will KILL me one day. Make it happen or not, but make your mind, Moffat !

Okay, that's it for today, I hope that you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one, I hope !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
