Not sure WHAT we were watching during the first 15 minute orgy... even some of the Roman movies were not as graphic! Watching the main characters intertwine their lives kept us watching. A few plots were familiar, like Fatty Arbuckle and the advent of talking pictures. Gruesome history side trips were hard to connect with theme of helping the masses cope with the Depression and class struggles. Was the director trying to make TWO different movies? Brad Pitt came out being the "star"!!

When we first watched this American adaptation of the Brit's famous detective, it was totally 'foreign'....a woman as Watson! Absurd...but you know, both Lucy Lu and the maudlin Jonny Lee Miller make viewing each week satisfying and addictive (aka Sherlock's deep seated problem!). The writer's have fleshed out these two adaptations of the original characters so that they still rely completely on each other for both work and human contact....Jolly well!!
