Over the years there have been numerous Sherlock movies and shows, with many actors portraying the timeless British detective as he intelligently solves mysteries and captures criminal masterminds. Therefore, anyone attempting to capture the “feel” and persona of Sherlock Holmes must do a pretty damn good job, in order to be remembered.

Benedict Cumberbatch, plays Sherlock Holmes in present-day London and through his brilliant performance shows fans who exactly Sherlock Holmes is. Quirky and strange, Holmes alternates between phases of furious activity to moments of complete stillness. The dialogue is smart and quick, and Cumberbatch comes to conclusions and answers in the unique way Sherlock Holmes has always been known to, throughout history.

Holmes portrayal is both comical and deep, and Cumberbatch does a great job of evoking the right emotions in each scene.

I like to think of myself as a world traveler and social butterfly, although I do spend a lot of my time watching the latest Japanese anime series, sitcoms, movies, and drama series. I live on the island of Crete, where I was born, and enjoy walking on the beach with my little cocker spaniel, Molly, when I'm not writing for WhatCulture.com and UNILAD.co.uk.
