Summary
Add a Summarythis second season deal with the big three in the holmes canon: the woman, the hound and the professor. enjoy.
(PBS) A Scandal in Belgravia: The central enigma concerns Irene Adler, a beautiful entrepreneur whose special relationship with the rich, powerful and royal has allowed her to amass coveted information powerful enough to topple the government. A worthy match for the aloof detective, Adler masterfully maneuvers her many assets in a game that Sherlock is ill-prepared to fight: love. Two brilliant minds lock together, producing a heat that brings a blush to John's cheek and a potential change to a celibate, cerebral detective. But who will come out on top? The Hounds of Baskerville: Boredom has set in at 221 Baker Street, with Sherlock jonesing for a meaty case and — in its absence — a cigarette. Only the arrival of Henry Knight, terrorized and desperately clinging to sanity, piques the consulting detective's interest. A gigantic hound — part tourist attraction, part conspiracy theory, part demonic moor stalker — is legend around Baskerville, a top-secret military compound where, it's rumored, chemical and biological weapons experiments are conducted on genetically engineered animals. And Henry Knight has just seen the hound's footprints in the very location where it killed his father decades before. Sherlock gleefully sets off to track the demonic hound with John at his side and Mycroft's access-granting government ID on hand to enter the high-security corridors of Baskerville. But he may have opened doors to a realm where deduction and reason have no place. The Reichenbach Fall: While Sherlock accrues unwanted accolades and press in gratitude for his mystery-solving prowess and John pointlessly counsels humility, the insane criminal mastermind Jim Moriarty is busy plotting the crime of the century. But bringing Britain to its knees is just a prelude for Sherlock's arch-nemesis, who orchestrates a perilous cat-and-mouse game with the object of his obsession. In a season finale both mind-blowing and gut-wrenching, the consulting detective and consulting criminal engage in an escalating series of high-stakes face-offs which begin in the courtroom and end in the solution of a diabolical and inescapable "final problem."

Mrs Hudson: It's a disgrace, sending your little brother into danger like that. Family is all we have in the end, Mycroft Holmes: Oh, shut up, Mrs Hudson. Sherlock Holmes: Mycroft! Mycroft Holmes: [A long pause] Apologies. Mrs Hudson: Thank you. Sherlock Holmes: Though do in fact shut up.
Dr. John Watson: Why didn't I think of that. Sherlock Holmes: Cause you're an idiot. No no no, don't be like that, practically everyone is.
Henry Knight: It's a strange place, Dewer's Hollow. Makes you feel so cold inside, so afraid. Sherlock Holmes: Yes, if I wanted poetry, I'd read John's emails to his girlfriends. Much funnier.

Add a CommentAnother well-made production from the BBC. This is a three-part series, each lasting 1.5 hours long. Episodes 1 & 3 are excellent and well-crafted, with episode 2 seeming a bit made-for-tv. I knew I was going to like this series after the first two minutes due to the production values and excellent, crisp writing providing a wonderful introduction to Dr. Watson. All of the characters are multi-dimensional, highlighted by a warm chemistry of respect between the two main characters. As a bonus, and so often missing in sherlock productions, is the cat-and-mouse aspect between Sherlock and the story's killer. A battle of whits surrounded by a real sense of danger provides a nice suspenseful drama.
Well done. Another cliff hanger.
Glad I have season 2 to watch within a few days. Cliff hanger.
I too was apprehensive of this modernization of Holmes... losing the spooky Victorian atmosphere seemed like an inconceivable concept to accomplish successfully. But, I'm on the same page as the majority of the prior 95 reviewers: intelligent writers/creators; engaging leads (Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman complement each other nicely)... the whole package. I should have known -- the BBC hasn't disappointed me yet. FIVE STARS.
I'll be completely honest: I thought I was going to hate this show. But it turned out to be one of the most brilliant and clever TV shows I have seen in a very long time. It's good, because, instead of keeping you in the dark like most of the other versions of Sherlock Holmes, you see what Sherlock sees; you're able to form an idea about who did it.
This show will destroy you. But you will love it.
Loved this so very much. Wish I had something brilliant to say to describe how fun of a ride it is to watch. A must for any fan of the character Sherlock Holmes.
best tv show ever (except for maybe doctor who) haters gonna hate but this is absolutely one of my favourite shows and the only thing i hate is that it takes soooo long for season 3 to come out!!
Pretty good, you can see the Dr Who production influence on it. I question the wisdom of show casing a pychopath as the hero - think it glorifies a seriously bad disorder and makes it a bit cute. Might be good to talk with younger viewers about this aspect. When I put that aside it is a fun watch.
This is the best show I have ever seen Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin freeman do an amazing job. This is my favorite show!
