Unaired Pilot

Am new to this series and i have to say, the first episode is really amazing. Sherlock is extremely smart, i cant believe he's a nornal human being. Im gonna watch more episodes right after this mesmerising one

And it was a wise decision of not airing this pilot and instead going with "A Study In Pink."

Mostly because, the level of details is much lower here. The textual effects are missing and the plot looks like it was edited amateurishly. Then, towards the end the plot is tad different. By different, I mean the locations and turn of events. Although it was real treat to know what the characters are gonna say next as all the dialogs are dot similar, except only if there were additions. Viewers are not provided enough insight about the proceedings; Watson's history is skipped and so is the crimes' prologue.

The cinematography is terrible here, comparatively. And also, the location setup is slightly dull. Mrs. Hudson looks more radiant.

BOTTOM LINE: Sherlock fans SHOULD grab this episode somehow and invest 1 hour into it as we can differentiate b/w the two episodes - the original & the remake. Especially, check out the extended conversation between Sherlock & Watson towards the end and before the climax at the café. Also, the ending note is more in line with Hollywood style.

Sherlock can infer anything passing the surface.I love this talent.Sherlock helped many people solve their problem.He is a kind man.He caught the real criminal and protect justice.The stories are complex and contemporary, with references to a remembered past. But it's easy to forget the past--the present Sherlock, droll yet naive, is so wonderfully weird.The dialogue is wonderfully written. It is fast- paced. There's some witty commentary here and there.Sherlock with his friend help many people and i think they are very interesting.My favourite episode of the series,The episode is rife with action, witty dialogue, political cover-ups and a story where everything comes full- circle.

Wow what an episode. I was hooked from start to finish. Superb acting and story. Benedict is brilliant in his performance with good support from Martin Freeman. An ingenious and modern portrayal of Sherlock. It contains all the elements of the great classic but reinvents it in a modern setting. 8.5/10
