wonderful acting, writing, plotting, characters. i can't say enough for this mini-series

An angel and a demon try to stop the apocalypse.

3/4 (Good).

It's fun when it's silly, but too silly for the story to matter.

This made me want to read the book again. The story starts with the Garden of Eden and ends with an Angel and Demon taking a stance.

It was a favourite book when it came out and it's a good adaptation of the story. I do recommend finding the Chattering Nuns of St Beryl's promotional piece Brand New Baby Smell after you're done. Sadly it doesn't appear to be on the DVD.

I enjoyed it. The Victorian set looked so very like the set from the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes, and Cumberbatch seemed to be imitating Brett. The preposterous plot didn't seem so annoying as the plots had recently become due to the games with the setting. Moriarity's character was, however, just tiresome.
