Verse: шерлок холмс | Sherlock Holmes (TV 2013) (aka New Russian Holmes)

Reccer's Comments: A central premise of the 2013 Russian series is that the cool calculating machine we know from canon is a fiction: when Dr. Watson sat down to write about his brilliant, passionate, cocksure, hot mess of a flatmate, his editors refused to publish it until he knocked down Holmes' rough edges, revising him into an idealized hero that everyone could love.
The song choice here is obviously a play on that premise: this is a vid about that unrevised, passionate, cocksure, hot mess of a man, the one whom everyone doesn't love, but who operates in perfect confidence that surely everyone will love him any minute now. (LISTEN JOHN LISTEN TO MY DEDUCTIONS ABOUT YOUR FATHER'S WATCH) Of course, we-the-fans-of-the-series love him anyway, and this vid gives a taste of why.
It's also a lovely bit of editing, dynamic and energetic, with a strong sense of character and motion. At only 25 secs, it's a quick watch, and it never fails to make me laugh.

Loved especially those two swinging points of the finger on the first 'loves me'. And Holmes getting his glasses slapped off his face ^___^

Holmes will never learn about taking those glasses off before he gets hit. There's a bit in the vid where Holmes is semi-deliberately instigating a bar fight (you can see the crowd advancing on him around 0:03), and Watson reaches over and peels Holmes' glasses off, with that long-suffering air of "you start shit, and you don't even have the presence of mind to take your glasses off, wtf Holmes."
