However, the stories have been odd and in some ways, unsatisfying. The other performers in the series have added a depth that was not always in present in the Canon. Benedict Cumberbatch has given a sophisticated and thoughtful portrayal of the internal Sherlock Holmes, and is able to exude the charm that we know from the Canon was able to put women at their ease. John Watson as a war veteran and man of action has been amazing. Their companionship and partnership have been well represented. Watson have been updated successfully to modern times, and the inclusion of so many details of the Canon are thoughtful. I certainly appreciate aspects of the series. But the scenes tying into the current times made it feel like the unwrapping of a long-awaited gift that turns out to be not quite the size, color or quality for which we had hoped. When I saw the photos released from the effort, the program looked like a gift. We had been promised a period piece, with Holmes and Watson in the time and place of the Canon.
