… "Miss Sherlock": Japan Takes On the Master | Bill Peschel.

Where the show really scores is in the casting of Sherlock and Watson. Yuko Takeuchi is just as mesmerizing as Sherlock as Benedict Cumberbatch. With her distinctive raven’s-wing hair style, her curt dismissal of everyone and their intelligence, her very un-Japanese walk and disregard for manners, she’s fun to watch as she blows through Japanese manners and polite talk. I would love to know how Japanese viewers look at her.
