Amazingly clever and shocking Masterpiece season felt little way ahead of 1st one.Music,story-line and whole cases were Fun and Entertaining to watch,Love the Sherlock's attitude towards others.compare to 1st season this one was literally insane and extraordinary.1st episode was amazingly fun as hell love the the women character and her quite impression towards Sherlock and starting with left-over felt amazing love the chemistry and cleverness.2nd episode was great love the case and how he solves at first it seem little over the top but at end it was cleverly executed planned and solving!3rd episode was insane as hell it was amazing cat and mouse fight which was engaging and entertaining.love the small talk addressing I O U it was amazing and how he tells about Hero and villain regarding the Fairy tales.whole episode was amazing specially ending 20 mins i was literally surprised although i know its not the end but it was perfectly brilliant the whole planning of Moriarty the trap was amazing and love his disguise scene too at end it felt little emotional but with many questions at last!Overall it was insane season clever and Entertaining!

Sherlock is a wonderful series. Just thinking about it makes me smile.

It's no mean feat, either, to follow three highly entertaining reinventions of stories involving one of literature's most adapted characters with three more even better than the first. But it must not be impossible, because Sherlock has done it.

Sometimes this focus on technology feels a bit heavy-handed, but in general this is a series that seems to be growing more assured as it goes along.

Sherlock is too often a petulant know-it-all, which grows tiresome and makes a viewer painfully aware that each episode is 90 minutes long.... Sherlock's redundancies are improved by a couple of longer story arcs.

I love this show. Benedict Cumberbatch is an amazing actor. Talented and handsome. Season 2 was better than 1.

Maravilhoso. O seriado é insolvente e divertido. Momentos de suspense ashow de bola.

The writers blew it in season two with a preposterous ending. If Moriarty was only an actor and Sherlock was a fraud, who was the mastermind behind the break-in at the Tower of London and the theft of the crown jewels? Sherlock could have simply pointed this out to Scotland Yard (and the media) and moved on with the case. No need to run. Better luck next season.

No, no, no, what's with all these 9s and 10s?! Do we have that much a culture of shilldom?! I gave season 1 a tepid "4" rating but this one I couldn't even make past ep 1 due to its horribly lazy use of DExM not once but twice! The very last scene of ep 1 was most egregious and enough to abort wasting 90-min more with another episode. Again, you can't pace a 90-min episode like it's 30-min one. So that's its continuing first problem. But then to just "magically" make things happen is just lazy writing and directing. Seriously, in ep 1 Holmes simply asks two "American" spec-ops types to leave the room when he has absolutely NO leverage to do so is idiocy. Then to overcome the final armed one was just insulting. This series wants to be taken seriously but it simply can't with such pathetic antics. I'm on to the next streaming series...
