When I saw how much was actually in common between the two, I was blown away by what an amazing job they did of taking the story line and elements from the book and making them modern. I read A Study in Scarlet before watching episode 1 of the first season of Sherlock which is called A Study in Pink. The story line feels so completely modern that I was curious about how much inspiration they use from the original story. The cinematography is creative with text on the screen for what Sherlock is thinking, text messages, traffic signs while chasing down murderers etc. It was epic and I totally think Sherlock would have taken that pill! (If you’ve seen A Study in Pink then you know what I’m talking about). I loved the battle of wits with the killer. His character is what makes this show amazing.

The character of Sherlock never reacts the way you think he will.

In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.

The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history. The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder.
