Sherlock

There's a fun take on A.C. Doyle available on Netflix. It's got Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman (whom I do not know from anything else) as Dr. Watson, and it's set in the present. Watson is recently returned from Afghanistan when the pair meet. Holmes texts Inspector Lestrade when he has something to contribute. The one episode I watched, "A Study in Pink," contains a riff on the dread Pirate Roberts' showdown with the Sicilian Vizzini over Iocane powder.
