DragonFaerie Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Okay, everybody seems to love this show, but I know nothing about it. Where do you watch it? I searched DirecTV and it's not on anywhere. I searched Netflix and think I found it, but there's only 3 episodes from 2010 and 3 episodes from 2011. Is that it? Just six episodes?

Jerico Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes. Season 3 just premiered- PBS might have it. I watch at simply June blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yep, that's it. It is soooo worth it. Season 3 is airing now in the states on Sunday nights. Only 3 episodes per season (but they are 90 minutes long so they are like little movies.) The last one of Season 3 is due to air this coming Sunday. They have already aired in the UK.

DragonFaerie Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ah, okay. PBS calls it Masterpiece Mysteries which is why I couldn't find it when I searched "Sherlock." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 BBC does short season, or series as they call it. It isn't unusual for a show to have only 6 or 8 shows a season. I hear long seasons referred to as "US style series" so I guess it might be only in the US that a season has 20 or 22 shows a season. But sometimes they kill me with their short series! FWIW the Sherlock episodes are 90 mins each and are more like a movie than a television series. The production value is very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You can watch all the episodes on stream-tv.me When you click on an ep, there will be several places that offer it, but pick the one that doesn't require a download. It is soooooo worth it. Once you become 'Sherlocked,' you can join us over on the Diogenes Club group and discuss how awesome it truly is.

Rubix Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ugh, I missed the first episode of season 3, and am trying to find it on PBS again. Otherwise I'll have to look into the other sites mentioned. Loved seasons 1 & 2, which I stumbled across on Amazon Prime <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFaerie Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks, y'all. Is this show kid-friendly? Finding that much time to watch (because I'd want to start at the beginning with what's on Netflix) without kiddos around is a challenge.

Finding that much time to watch (because I'd want to start at the beginning with what's on Netflix) without kiddos around is a challenge. Well - depends on you and your kids. I watch it with Calvin but not with Hobbes. The very first episode is extremely creepy and there's a later one with a fair bit of sexual content.

Word Nerd Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The first episode of the second season is not at all kid-friendly IMHO, but whether the other episodes are would depend on the kid. The show has murder, violence, and adult situations, though I think it's tamer than most crime dramas I've seen. I'd be OK with my tween watching with me if she were interested, with the exception of the episode I mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My 13 year old loves it (and watched the first 2 seasons a LONG time ago - age 11?), but he's very pragmatic about viewing movies, etc and we've been more lenient with him than I expected. It depends on your standards. It's definitely PG-13, leaning to R in some parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The the earlies episodes (seasons 1 and 2) with Benedict Cumberbatch (yum!) and Martin Freeman we watched on Netflix. Season 3 (this year), I watch on PBS.org that day after it airs. We don't have regular tv or cable, which is why we watch it this way. It is most definitely PG-13/TV14. I don't agree with a previous poster stating it leans towards "R" in some parts. There are no swear words, there is a bit of blood sometimes (it's a murder mystery show, after all), and there are plenty of innuendos. Honestly, I think it's less offensive than most PG-13 movies out these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much less conservative than many, many parents, so I think that makes me rate things worse than they may actually be. Honestly, my 9 year old snuck in and watched season 3 ep2 with me last week and is intrigued. I didn't see anything really problematic in that particular episode considering she's seen Harry Potter. Also, you really need to be paying attention to "get" all the plot pieces and how they fit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momofeat Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We don't let our 14yo dd watch yet, but I'm thinking about it. We would definitely skip the one episode everyone else has mentioned. There are a few curse words here and there, but the bigger language issues I have are the sexual terms, often used to insult other characters or to make a dirty joke. I really wish it wasn't in there, because I know that she would love the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFaerie Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks. Sounds like I should watch after the kids go to bed. I don't worry about language, and even the violence is not too big a deal (so long as it's not over the top). But I draw the line at sexual content. I'm not ready to go there yet. LOL...

Guest Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 But isn't it true PBS edits/shortens the show? I read that on many Amazon reviews. So where do you watch the true BBC shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the BBC version of S3 and the PBS version, and I didn't notice any difference in them. I only watched S1 & 2 on the BBC, so I have no info on those.

redsquirrel Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 When I watched Sherlock for the first time it was on Netflix. I had NO idea what I was getting into, lol. And, by total luck, I saw it only weeks before the second season came out. When I rewatched season 1&2 on Netflix in preparation for season 3 (and for something to watch while on the Nordic Track) I noticed a couple of differences in season 1 episodes. There had a been a very few small bits cut out. However, at some point Netflix had replaced those episodes with BBC direct episodes or something. It was some very minor things, a short scene where John gets dumped by a girlfriend who is jealous of Sherlock etc. I didn't notice a difference in any of the season 2, but my memory could be fuzzy. I can assure you it was nothing of consequence. I noticed it, but DH didn't. I have seen all of the new episodes on the BBC via tunnelbear and now I have seen The Empty Hearse streamed via PBS and I didn't notice any changes at all.
