Sherlock just returned for season 2 last night with "A Scandal in Belgravia (Bohemia)", maybe the best episode yet. Each season is only three episodes, with each episode being an hour and a half, almost like a whole movie in itself. The first season was great and I was surprised at how much I like this version. I can say with great certainty that Sherlock Holmes is my favourite literary character of all time, but I feel like he's had spotty film adaptation. This Sherlock (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) I feel is the best one yet. Robert Downy Jr was too...flowery? Not enough of a sociopath? Something is just off about him. But this one -- perfect. This Mycroft is also pitch perfect. The way they explain his 'Science of Deduction', the modern adaptation of the original stories, Watson, Mycroft, Moriarty, how they put the 'classic' Sherlock artifacts into it, EVERYTHING. Has anyone else seen it? All of season one is on Netflix instant watch.
This most recent episode was so fucking good that I woke up this morning and pulled out my Complete Annotated Sherlock Holmes and reread 'A Scandal In Bohemia' to just marvel how the episode was so different, but yet so on the money. SO MANY THINGS. This Holmesian is immensely impressed.
