Ten Reasons to Love Sherlock BBC


Wow. 

So I have like zero words to describe this show... 

Like I don't even know where to begin... 

Maybe with the amazing characters? Maybe with how dreadfully horrible the villains are? Maybe with how epically awesome Sherlock with his coat flapping behind him is? I don't even know, my peeps. *waves arms helplessly* 

But I guess if I'm actually gonna make a post out of this I better start somewhere, or this isn't going to work out very well. So here are just a few reasons why I love this show so much. 

(WARNING THE FIRST: MUCH FANGIRLING AHEAD. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK)

(WARNING THE SECOND: GREAT OVERLOAD OF PICTURES AHEAD. BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY PICTURES OF SHERLOCK'S AND JOHN'S FACES)

(WARNING THE THIRD: WHILE I WILL KEEP THIS POST FREE OF MAJOR SPOILERS, THERE WILL BE A FEW SMALLER ONES, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE WHOLE SHOW AND WANT TO, YOU MAY PROCEED WITH CAUTION)

So, in case you don't know, the BBC show Sherlock is basically a modern day take on the Sherlock Holmes Books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (DUH). It is also one of the most awesome, horrible, epic, awful, and amazing shows to exist. Makes sense? GOOD. We shall proceed. 


1.) Sherlock 

The man himself. The rather odd looking (and yet, somehow absolutely gorgeous at the same time) detective who has completely stolen my heart, despite his pig headed and self centered ways. I mean PLEASE. HOW CAN ONE BE SO IRRITATING AND IRRESISTIBLE AT THE SAME TIME!!! 



K', I'm not gonna lie ya'll. I'm kinda, sorta in love with Sherlock (his voice you guys. his stinkin' amazing voice) (also the hair) (and his face) (maybe kinda just all of him) (help



Also, Benedict Cumberpatch and his acting just manages to nail it every. single. time. The dramatic scenes, the sweet scenes, the intense scenes. Just like, thanks Ben for being amazing :) 

2.) John Watson. 



*supresses squeals*

I. Love. John. So. Stinkin. Much. <3 <3 <3



Like idontevenknowwhatitis!!!! But he's adorable, and sweet, and brave, and just ajghlfjhgajsdhghjlgj!!!! He just has so much love to give and he's there for Sherlock through thick and thin and I just love hiiiiiiiim!!

3.) Sherlock laughing


'nuff said

4.) Sherlolly!!!



Sherlock loves her!! I know it!!! 

THE SHIP MUST SAIL!!!!

5.) John's "Sherlock, What the Heck?" face



6.) The SNARK/SASS!

like this...



and this...



And this...



 And this...



And this...


(Can't you hear it in his voice)

7.) The Absolutely Phenomenal Acting!



I mean, THE ACTORS ARE ABOUT 3/4's OF WHAT MAKE THIS SHOW. Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberpatch, I mean...*eeeeek*!!! Both of these men are just incredibly talented actors!!!


8.) The Sherlock/Mary/John Dynamic



Ok, I absolutely loooooove the way these three work together! John and Mary love each other so much, and Sherlock and Mary think each other are both the greatest thing ever. And instead of tearing John and Sherlock apart, Mary just joins them in their adventures and encourages them and I LOVE IT!!

9.) Mrs. Hudson! (aka Queen of Awesome!!)


I loooooooove Mrs. Hudson!! She's hilarious, and adorable, and such a cute mother figure to Sherlock and John!! In the words of Sherlock...




10.) JOHN AND SHERLOCK'S RELATIONSHIP!!!



One of the best aspects of the entire show!!! These two just WORK, ya know? The socially awkward, highly functioning sociopath, and the ever steadfast, war doctor. The moment the two are first on the screen together, Martin and Ben just absolutely MAKE THE SHOW.



The way John loves Sherlock even though Sherlock can be an absolute jerk sometimes.The way the Sherlock needs John to keep him in a straight line, and to be there as his grounding. The way you can see John rubbing off on Sherlock throughout the show as Sherlock slowly becomes a nicer person, and vica versa, with Sherlock taking John from his lonely existence, to a place where he is surrounded by people who love him and who he loves, and just squueeeeeee!!! They are always there for each other, and would (quite literally) die for each other.



So tell me! Have you seen Sherlock? What are your favorite aspects of the show? Also, I am considering hosting a Sherlock BBC blog party sometime soon! Are there enough of you out there who like Sherlock and would be interested? Drop me a comment and let me know!! I'd love to talk to you!! Hope you're all well! xxxx
