AceCaseOR's Journal: "The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes"

As of the time I am writing this message, on Mystery on PBS they are showing the first part of their new miniseries, "The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes". the series looks very promising, and the acting is very good. Though I must admit, I did not envision Arthur Conan Doyle with a Irish accent.

Alright, I've finished the episode, though I'm not going to spoil anything, I will say that the episode had some humerous moments, and the actor who played Dr. Joseph Bell was very good. However, he didn't have that many real Holmes moments, but that's okay. Doyle certainly reflected Watson. The ultimate solution to the episode certainly caught me absolutely by suprise. However, the writers, like Agatha Christie and even Arthur Conan Doyle himself, cheated. They left out a couple of important pieces of information which would have allowed us to have come to the conclusion at the same time as Bell did. However, I am certainly looking forward to the next episode of the series, and I reccomend it to all you slashdotters who enjoy an entertaining mystery.
