20 Reasons To Watch "Sherlock" BBC

“We solve crimes. I blog about it, he forgets his pants. I wouldn’t hold out too much hope.”

20 Reasons To Watch "Sherlock" BBC

We're obsessed with the high-functioning sociopath, and the world wonders why. Well, here are a few reasons why "Sherlock" BBC has taken over our hearts.

1. Accents

Let's all be honest, a British accent automatically makes someone 10 times more attractive.


2. Sherlock and John's Friendship

Even though John always tries to convince us they're not gay, we still enjoy the sweet side of their friendship you don't usually see in most guys. Best bromance ever.



3. Facial Expressions

Just Benedict's facial expressions alone make the entire show.


4. Fan Theories

We all tried to deduce our way to the answer to how Sherlock survived the fall, and the writers noticed enough to include some theories in season three.


5. One Liners

Sherlock's wit and sarcasm never end and there's no lack of laughs for us from the other leading characters as well.

6. Drunklock

"Yes, but am I a pretty lady?" "Chair? Egg?? Sitty thing???" "He's cluing for looks." "I know Ash!"


7. Plot Twists

With our hearts in the hands of Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, we're bound to be crushed.


8. Moriarty

Admit it, you love him. He's one of the most interesting villains of all time and unlike any, you'd ever see in another movie.


9. Sherlock Feels

No matter how unfeeling he seems, who would go to such extreme lengths to protect all of the people they love?

"Look at how you care about John Watson."



10. The Abominable Bride

We all went a little bit crazy to see Sherlock set in Victorian England.


11. Overcoat and Scarf

Yes, just yes.


12. London

*queue Sherlock theme*



13. Martin Freeman

The brave little Hobbit adventuring with his best friend. But seriously, though, I don't know how Martin keeps in character with some of the ridiculous things they have to say and do. We love our little hedgehog.


14. Benedict Cumberbatch

Which fanbase can say they had a star who started doing plays and ended up on the big screens starring in his own Marvel movie? Truly Benedict is one of the greatest actors of all time.


15. Musical Score

Bless you, David Arnold.


16. Mary

Never have you seen a cuter assassin before.


17. Dedicated Fanbase

Which other fandom waits patiently for two to three years for only three episodes a season?


18. Season 4

We don't speak of it. We just don't.



19. Supporting characters

"Gavin," "Gary," Anderson, Molly, Mrs. Hudson, and Mycroft. Where would we be without them?


20. Becoming Sherlock

Trying to deduce things about your friends and family after binge-watching the show.


We are all SHERLOCKED here. Join the madness.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
