First let me lament British television descriptors and point out that if this was made in the States it would be Sherlock season 2. I don't get why they refer to seasons as series, but I will deal with it because if it was made here they would recast Watson as a woman just for publicity (this is actually really happening with next years Elemntary).
Besides the Brits being Brits, how is the show? Freaking amazing. Seriously, this is television at it's best. It's a weird show because it is really made up of three 90 minute TV movies, with both the first and third having a good enough story to make it on the big screen.
Greatest named man ever Benedict Cumberbatch shines as Sherlock and Martin Freeman (Bilbo!) give his best performance here. That being said it's Andrew Scott's Moriarty who delivers the home run here, or game winning goal since this is a BBC show. The time Sherlock and Moriarty spend on screen together is amazing, with the ending leaving many questions about the status of both characters I cannot wait for series 3.
