Today, of course, the subject of our discussion will be Sherlock BBC. There will be no discussion of the character, no discussion of the lore, and no discussion of the fandom. I love this fucking show too much, so maybe I am biased about some aspects. Some have pointed out that I am not a film expert, just a guy who loves good stories. Well, enough of that, let's talk about "Why Sherlock BB is good at storytelling".
I am picking out an episode that is representative of the series. Why? You ask me that? Well I am going through it in depth, looking at the brilliance of the colors, the lines, the theme, and many other things. So what am I going to pick? One from the second season? Or the third season? No, actually, we are going to choose episode 3 from season 1 to talk about.
This is a very special episode because of where it was placed. At the end of the first season, for that it had to make us, or the audience, satisfied, and it also had to keep us interested and curious for the next season. The first time I saw the episode, I didn't pay attention to these little details in the film, but when I watched it a few more times, I was blown away by the implications of this episode, which were massive and scattered throughout the episode.
The first thing I have to say about this episode is the lore of it. It's just Moriaty being naughty all over the place and Sherlock has to clean up all his messes, plus his big brother Mycroft brings him a mission, top secret? Very. For the whole of England. Our "humble" detective, Sherlock Holmes, has to do two things at once: Save England and save the victim from being blown up by a bomb. Can he do it? Like a piece of cake.
From the very first minute, the director sets the tone of darkness, with little light, and the camera angles show Sherlock's boredom with the case.
In this scene, we can see that Sherlock does not even bother to try, as he simply corrects every sentence that the criminal says, like a real spelling and grammar police officer (LOL).
After the introduction of the theme of the film, the director takes us to the next scene, where we are introduced to the new personality of Sherlock and also to the relationship between him and John Watson. We see that he's bored as hell, he even shoots a gun in his bloody flat, just because it's boring. It is so clever that the biggest baddie in the series, Moriaty, has a line that refers to that scene as well.
“Why does anyone do anything Sherlock? Because we bored”- Moriaty
More than that, we were told about his ideology and his superior ego when someone has a feeling about what he is doing, in fact, his knowledge of the solar system lost a primary student. 
“Im a flatter idiot” Sherlock said
He has had some arguments with John, indicating the importance of John to him, and opposite, the light used in this conservation is yellow and brown, meaning they both feel comfortable and rely on each other quite a lot. 
This has set up a lot of things for us to think about in the future. Will Sherlock be changed for the better or is he going to be an idiot for the rest of his life? What does John mean to him? Is he cold-blooded or a meth-headed bloody criminal? We didn't know enough about him. We asked, the film slowly answered all these questions, while still keeping the pacing high enough for the audience to watch the film all the time, and, "boom! After John's departure, there was a bomb explosion in front of their house. We had no idea what was the matter with Sherlock. Cut, cut, cut...
And oh my God, I love this scene too much. The sound, the surprise, the nervousness I felt for the character at that moment was maxed out, and then I completely forgot that reality was intruding into the episode for an hour. The good thing about Sherlock is that the show never tells you what is going on, it just demonstrates the incident by the color, the camera angle, the background music, or even when the characters are being sarcastic with each other. THEY ARE GOOD AT TELLING A STORY!
Back to our main theme. When John ran as fast as he could to find out if Sherlock was OK or not after seeing the news about the territory, it showed that he really cared for Sherlock (how lovely). A little later, Mycroft and Sherlock are in the middle of a "serious" conversation, as usual. Somehow, in a good way, this reveals the relationship between two protagonists, two geniuses whose desire to make another one piss off. I will marginalize a little bit. People often misunderstand John as being unintelligent compared to his partner Sherlock, but he is far from that, as some of these scenes make fun of his reaction to Sherlock and Mycroft's pretensions(i love those)
“How?!… Never mind”- John  
One of my favorite things about the show is that it has always given us some kind of clue about the cases. The clue can even be the villain who literally appears in front of our screen in the halfway episode, but we didn't care or just missed it, and then the character we were cluelessly introduced to at the end of the episode appears, what kind of genius had to write that to keep us so intrigued! 
I adore the way the director just up and on the cases follow the path as interesting as possible, we are sad because our protagonist can not save anyone, that they are not heroes. The charming line, a lesson that deeply touches our soul, that even Sherlock has made a mistake.
“Sherlock Holmes: Will caring about them help save them?
John: Nope!
Sherlock: Then I’ll continue not to make that mistake.”
Why is it so bad when the character we love can't do good things? Why is it so sad when John is disillusioned with Sherlock? Why do we care about the character at all, even if it is not real?  Because we want our characters to be happy, we want to sympathize with them, we want to cry with them, we want them to be strong, because deep down we want to be good. And Sherlock did it all! I can never stop praising these guys, they too are with this praise and promotion.
Next we'll talk about the climax of this episode, and you know it's going to be good. All in all, Sherlock has a fast, furious pace with a lot of investigation, action and of course you cannot miss the fact that John and Sherlock are flirting with each other every single 3 minutes of the film. But it wouldn't be so great if the whole thing, which we mentioned earlier, had a satisfying climax, like truly, who wouldn't feel the excitement and indulge in their blood when our cast Sherlock, John is chasing with crime, when our detective explains everything with the length of homework assignments.
Season 1, ep 3 has a lot of climaxes sprinkled throughout. There is a palpable sense of excitement every time there is a clue from the villain that is very mysterious to us. It gets more and more tense, and the episode goes on for longer and longer, and we see John arguing with Sherlock about how Sherlock doesn't care about other people's lives.
“They are real human Sherlock” Said John
But we all know that's not the truth either, even Moriaty knew that and took advantage of him. The climax is a successive, back-to-back increase as each case is dealt with. It feels so tense, so strangled, so dramatic at the same time, when the actors conflict with each other, angry, screaming like a child, we enjoy it, very much, the moment of truth revealed from the darkness. Our fears for John peak at the end, when he starts talking like a robot and we hear the footsteps. Jesus Christ, this shit is too novel for me, too well written, because the innovative takes us from surprise to surprise.
(hes hot btw)
So why is Sherlock so good at telling us a story? Because they don't underestimate our minds, they make us feel good, they make us feel like a child prodigy. They have a good pace, they have a good character to make us feel sorry for them. 
And that is why Sherlock is a masterpi!
