I've been loving this series!

Modern updates can be very... um, interesting. But this is spectacular!

The plot and dialogue is fantastic but nothing beats Cumberbatch and Freeman's portrayals of these timeless characters.

The first season (3 episodes, about 90 minutes each) is available through netflix dvd or streaming.

...and as a sidenote - after seeing Martin Freeman in this, I am even more excited for The Hobbit because I am now confident that he will play an excellent Bilbo =)
