221B Baker Street, S1ep2; mild spoilers
Russian 221B Baker Street only took two episodes to fall into the same cliche that grinds my teeth about Every. Single. Other. Modern. Adaptation. But I will forgive it because Russian Watson just became a bigger badass than Jude Law or Martin Freeman. Combined!
Obligatory disclaimer: Absolutely loaded with the racism of an empire at war in the Middle East. Don't make a drinking game out of hearing "white man's burden"; you'll get smashed. I am glad to say that it gets addressed in a period-appropriate manner. (And, for those counting canon nods, without the use of a yellow mask.)
Episode 2, subtitled in Engl-ish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqCtuJGpuco
