You can find full seasons of Sherlock on HULU or your local PBS station and rewatch the entire series along with me! You will need a prescription to both HULU or PBS to watch the series. This blog post is basically my observations while I watched the episode. It’s a better experience though if you follow along on my social media accounts on Twitter, Threads and Bluesky!
Oooh…totally didn’t realize the Asian actress in this ep was Gemma Chan! She was so young, but still so pretty!
I love that they used the opening bits of this ep to show Sherlock’s self defense ability is canonically very good. Glad they didn’t mae the character more bumbling in a geeky way. Sherlock #rewatch

I tell you what, Cumberbatch as Sherlock never looked better. can’t recall if his hair was naturally so curly or if they had to style it with curls. I don’t know that he his hair like this since the Sherlock days… It’s legit my fav look of his.
Sherlock is such a petty azz when he feels disrespected, especially by the police…and I am always here for his level of pettiness..LOL.

I’ll tell what Sherlock did the first time I saw it…it definitely made London more intriguing for me. TBH, I’ve been to London multiple times but still feel like I didn’t get the best of the city…well shoot, should I visit London again…

Ayee…them mentioned SpiderMan in this ep…

Lordt it never ceases to not make me LMBAO at just how often Sherlock leaves Watson at a crime scene to interact Scotland Yard and Watson being completely oblivious that Sherlock has booked ut out of there…and Watson’s just like.

Chile…every time they stop at a restaurant to stake out a place, Sherlock never eats, but if Watson don’t do nothing else, he gon order a meal…Watson be like…

Not to obsess over Sherlock’s coat again, but I’d bet running in Sherlock coat is what prepared Cumberbatch for the cape as Doctor Strange, cause mahn, he was running his azz off in that coat, and this shit looked heavy AF!

Just now realizing the actress, Louise Brealey who played the morgue lady who had a crush on Sherlock, is the same actress who played the lil squirrelly witch in Discovery of Witches…smh. I knew I knew her from somewhere…

Speaking of #DiscoveryOfWitches if you want a great adult (not tween) series about Witches, Vampires and Demons…definitely give it a watch. I truly loved that series. Watch it for the romance, the drama and the supernatural, stay for Matthew Goode as a HOT as vampire!

Back to #Sherlock #Rewatch…chile, the way Sherlock used that little morgue lady’s crush to get her to do shit for him…smh. I truly felt so bad for her cause he knowingly led her on. Really made u feel bad once Irene Adler came along and truly fascinated Sherlock

Totally forgot the 2nd episode of Season 1 involved a bit of Chinese art and culture…andddd now I want Chinese food and also kinda want to know how does one put together a trip to China…like what is Chinese tourism like? Can anyone just get a visa and go??

Sherlock is kinda like the diabolical villain in crime dramas and comics…dude can never just do shit quick…he’s gotta monologue and soliloquy when discussing how he’s solved the crime at the end…LOL. Watson or someone be about to die and be like dude…

Baby…imagine being the side piece of a smuggler and they gave you a $9 million jade hairpiece that he stole from Chinese mafia…and you just wearing it like he bought it from a swap meet…smh

The ending of episode 2 was so awesome from the perspective of #Sherlock Holmes fans because #IYKYK already who was coming soon! They metioned him in episode 1, but if you didn’t already know you may have missed the importance of the name drop. Bookreaders know that name and was like… #Rewatch

Alright…that’s it for my rewatch of Sherlock Season 1 Episode 2: The Blind Banker. I forget that each episode while having a continuous throughline are that comes together at the end of each season, each episode is the length of a movie, so live reactions to each ep can end up taking at least 2hours just cause I stop and post about my thoughts and observations. So a true continuous binge is ALOT, so I’m going to do a daily rewatch of each ep so I’m not too tired to enjoy it while stopping for observations.
Anyhoo tomorrow I’ll rewatch Season 1 season finale, Episode 3: The Great Game. We finally meet our boy!!! See ya mañana! If anyone is truly out there, let me know if you enjoyed this recap here or on my socials.
