Sherlock Series 2 Blu Ray Review

Sherlock Series 2 Blu Ray Review

Rating: M
Released by BBC and Roadshow Home Entertainment

There's just something about this incarnation of Sherlock Holmes, something so, so right.

With the writing team of Steven "Dr Who" Moffat and Mark Gatiss, and the acting team of Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin "Hobbit" Freeman as Watson, it's just been perfect in every way.

These three latest feature length adventures showcase the best of the writing and acting team as they give us a modern day take on a trio of classics - A Scandal in Belgravia, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Reichenbach Fall.

There's such intelligence, such drama and such incredibly well put together TV in this clutch of stories - and some of the credit must also go to Moriarty (played by Andrew Scott) who brings such psychotic touches to the villain that it's utterly entrancing.

If there's to be a criticism of these stories, it's that the Baskerville one doesn't quite match upto the most popular of Conan Doyle's tales - but The Reichenbach Fall is such a stunningly breathtaking season ender that it's no wonder the internet's melted down trying to work out how Holmes faked his death....roll on season 3 as soon as possible.

Utterly unmissable, Sherlock Series 2 is worth your time - any self respecting TV lover needs this in their collection.

Extras: Commentaries and a brief doco
