The twist this time is an updating of the setting to modern London. Despite the oddity of seeing Sherlock Holmes use an iPhone, the series stays true to the spirit of the Holmes saga. The character is based on the science of deduction, and the detective wields it with precision and a lack of social sensitivity. In other words, it's well executed.
My only complaint is with the length of each show. At 90 minutes, they're too long, and as a result, elements of the plot often seem contrived.
It's definitely a welcome addition to the Sherlock Holmes entertainment offerings.
Sunday nights on PBS.
