Trivia
Sherlock kissing Mrs. Hudson on the cheek wasn't scripted. Benedict Cumberbatch had known Una Stubbs since he was very young, and it was his reaction on being able to work with someone who was like a mother to him.

Goofs
When Sherlock gets in the cab, he asks the cabbie, "How did you find me?" but his lips don't move.

Quotes
Anderson: So we can read her emails, so what?
Sherlock Holmes: Anderson, don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street.

A study in Pink

We were pleasantly surprised to see how the well known story about the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes is remade into a new modernized version. Our impression of A study in Pink is overall brilliant, and gives you the exact same feeling and it, as the old version. It captures the city of London in the most beautiful way you could imagine. A 21st century type Sherlock Holmes has arrived to give us the experience of an extraordinary crime series, just like we have hoped and waited for.

The first case A Study in Pink takes us straight into the universe of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson's life, and is a perfect beginning to the exciting series.

The cast portrays the characters perfectly and the acting is really enjoyable to watch as well. it is outstanding filmmaking that tranfers the original story into a fresh young story, and we are sure that the younger audience will love it as well. The TV series explains Arthur Conan Doyle's plot in a different, yet elegant way
