User Reviews

greatly improved

I started watching simply because the show starred the drop dead beautiful Lucy Liu. The show was entertaining in the first two seasons, but not exceptional. Lucy Liu is not only a pretty face. She does an excellent job as Watson. The Holmes character that Jonny Lee Miller created has depth and is uniquely engaging. The writing seems to have improved by an order of magnitude in this the third season. The new character Kitty Winter has added a new level of interest to the series. Ophelia Lovibond is extraordinary in her role. I hope the series continues and that Ophelia remains a part. I say, "bravo well done for season 3."
