Anyone on here watching this? It's on Sky / Now TV, and the first episode is also free to view through a Radio Times website link. I haven't read the novels so no spoilers please, but it's slickly done. It took me a couple of attempts to get into it, with Cumberbatch dialling it up to 11 at some points, but I'm hoping it's a grower and will stick with it.

Best debauched drug-using scenes since "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Cumberbatch is very funny in this.

The Wolf of Wall Street[/quote I just couldn't get into that - horrible men being horrible! |

I'm glad to say it IS a grower - the first episode is (or was) available for free through the Radio Times website, though it's rather in your face with Cumberbatch going a bit Jim Carrey at times, which nearly put me off. It gets much better in the second and third episodes (I haven't got as far as the fourth yet) and is very well worth your time, though be warned, it gets very dark. I'm watching it using Now TV which you can subscribe to on a monthly basis rather than a long contract, and I think it's available there until early July.
Btw, I do think it's time location scouts found somewhere new though - in the last year I've seen Endeavour, Taboo, Howards End and now this all filmed at West Wycombe Park, and I'm starting to feel like I've taken up residence.
