Sherlock: The Russian Chronicles

The story started as a casual non-fictions parody, but one moment you get willing to solve all the mystical secrets hidden there.

Plussing the picture atmosphere we got to call it an interesting experiment.

This deserving show has no reviews after two years, and it deserves one.

The characters are believable (almost all), the plots are imaginative and not repeats of other previous depictions of holmes.

I have seen very few shows based on holmes that are worth watching. Not quite none, but very few. This one, in my opinion, is one of those few.

It is darker than previous holmes dramas, and it works well. The characters are dark, and the plots are dark. Death is frequent, and life is cheap. It has a sombre but well portrayed background of a corrupt society with many villains, most of them prepared to do nearly anything.

It has its problems and limitations, but they are forgivable. The merits of the show allow us to ignore its failings, and they are not many.

I have only watched the french translation (which is extremely good) - if you can find a translation or subtitles for your language, watch this. You won't be disappointed.
