Eh, kinda. Luther? Sherlock? Global sex-symbol superstars right there. The same forces at play in Hollywood are at work in London, it's just that the best-looking ones move out to California as well.



Ha, I’ve never thought of Benedict Cumberbatch as good looking, just odd looking, like the Snitznoodle from Raggedy Anne & Andy.[0]

The BBC version from the eighties had actors more in keeping, I think.

The main characters in Sherlock, sure. But the ancillary characters are much more normal.


Not sure if it's a taste thing, but I don't find any single character on Sherlock to be particularly attractive, having just binged on the entirely of the show in the past two weeks.


I imagine it amuses Benedict Cumberbatch immensely that he's referred to often as the "Thinking Woman's Crumpet".


Luther, okay, I'll grant you, it's Idris Elba. But everyone else around him (aside from his ex) looks rather, well, normal and British.

Ruth Wilson is a great actress, and, in my opinion, somewhat attractive, but she's not of the "Moved to LA and looking for stardom" mould that a lot of American actors and actresses fall into.


“Somewhat” attractive? Ruth Wilson is very hot, if you excuse my objectifying. She’s had interesting career moves, but would definitely not look out of place in any US movie or tv series...
