A Scandal in Belgravia

A few years ago, on 1st January 2012, Paul Mc Guigan published a new episode of the crime drama from the BBC series "Sherlock Holmes". The episode, called "A Scandal in Belgravia", represents that Mc Guigan has a talent to write really exciting detective stories.

The episode is about the amazing detective Sherlock Holmes who tries to solve another difficult case. The setting takes place in Belgravia, a rich part of London. It's about the dominatrix Irene Adler who has some interesting photos which could destroy the royal family. The actors who are playing the main characters - Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler and Dr. John Watson - do a really good job so that the viewers can put themselves into the situation. Especially Benedict Cumberbatch who's playing Holmes, does a brilliant screenplay, it seems as if he is made for this role. The episode is stuffed with classic music, sometimes from Sherlock himself, which reflects the tense of Holmes as an observing machine. There are also some weaknesses like the fast speech especially of Holmes and the plot is sometimes a little bit difficult to understand. Furthermore, it's really long for an episode (89 minutes).

Our opinion is that "A Scandal in Belgravia" is a fantastic episode to watch. Not a single minute is wasted even if we are no detective story fans. That's why we would definitely recommend to watch this series to all these people who love detective stories. The message for us is that a woman can be as good and intelligent as the brilliant observing machine Sherlock Holmes.
