AdaptationHIGH

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's series adapts Arthur Conan Doyle's stories into present-day London: Holmes texts instead of sending telegrams, Watson blogs instead of writing for the Strand, and each episode reworks a canonical story, from A Study in Scarlet as "A Study in Pink" to The Hound of the Baskervilles.
