Season Reviewed: Sherlock Series 2

Okay, i know i'm a bit late with this one, but i've had exams this week and have been busy. Sherlock will be just one of many shows reviewed on screen archives, along with Doctor Who, Grimm, 30 Rock, Warehouse 13, and others. For those of you who aren't familiar with Sherlock, it's a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes, set in modern day London, created by Doctor Who Allums Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. If you've never actually read Sherlock Holmes, don't worry, you don't have to to like the show. Now, like series 1, series 2 was comprised of 3 hour-and-a-half long episodes. Episode 1, "A Scandal in Belgravia," was basically the episode in which we meet Irene Adler, a character in the original sherlock holmes books. I definetely hope we see some more Irene in series 3 (yes, a third series has been confirmed). Episode 2, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," was easily my favorite episode, being just plain awesome. Episode 3, "The Reichenbach Fall," saw the return of Jim Moriarty, who wants revenge against Sherlock. Overall, i'll say that i liked this series better than series 1, mainly because of the more addictive storylines, but also because of increased character developement (sherlock actually seemed like he might be growing a soul!) and because we got a few glimpses into how the mind of our favorite genious with aspergers works. Sherlock Series 2: Final Rating: 94%
