Move over Robert Downey Jr. The snarky big screen superhero may have a couple of blockbusters under his belt with the Iron Man franchise and the current boxoffice smash The Avengers, but when it comes to playing Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch is the new darling.
Masterpiece Mystery! Sherlock, Series 2 is a ratings winner on PBS. The show has brought back Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson for a new round of clever crime-solving in 21st century London in the brilliant production.
And its all thanks to the riveting performance by Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role, with help from Martin Freeman as his deadpan sidekick, Watson. And even the mastermind of evil Moriarty (Andrew Scott) works into the episodes for added intrigue.
Benedict has been praised from bringing “the perfect combination of IQ and GQ” to the PBS audience. He recently starred on the big screen in War Horse and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which also gained him accolades.
In the role of the updated Sherlock, Benedict puts a new spin on the role, but does pay homage to all the Sherlocks who have come before.
