8. A Study in PinkThe first episode of BBC series starts with the scene of war in Afghanistan where Dr. John Watson worked as a military doctor. Then, the story behind how Sherlock and John meet and become a roommate is shown.Also, we see Sherlock’s detective skills when he deduces that Watson has been in Afghanistan and he is a military doctor.

10. A Study in PinkIn the episode, there are very mysterious death-series; noone knows if they are murders or simply similar suicides.Scotland Yard consults Sherlock to find out what’s going on.John involves the investigation as a title of doctor firstly, then he is becoming nearly a colleague as Sherlock .
11.
12. Sherlock and John understand from the deductions that these deaths are commited by the murderer , and they try who the killer is and how s/he can persuades people to commit suidice.
13. Then, it turns out that murders are about the pills. (No more spoilers!)
14. CRITICISMA Study in Pink is a partially adaptation of A Study in Scarlet which is the first novel of Sherlock Holmes books written by Doyle.We say loosely adapted because it has some individual elements from the story:Rache written with blood in crime sceneKiller’s illness
15.
16. BUT:Rache means different things for the book and the episode (a German word meaning “revenge” in the book but a woman’s name in the episode).The motivation of the killer is completely different (murder for revenge in the book but murder for money in the episode).Also, the backstory set is different, too ( in America in the book but in U.K. (London) in the episode)
17.
18. EVALUATION A partially adaptation from a classic can be seen as eccentric in the first place BUT:It makes the story different and very unusual so that people become impressed Also, an one-to-one adaptation of the classic of 19th century in the 21st century would seem very tough and, maybe, ridiciolus BECAUSE: As can be seen in this Tv series, it is possible to reflect the soul of the Victorian character with well-designed or adapted set and characters even without the whole adaptation.
