More Critic Reviews for Sherlock Season 2 All Critics (34) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (34) | Rotten (0) The result was 90 minutes of television so richly enjoyable that I'm already beginning to wonder if we'll see anything better all year. Sep 10, 2018 | Full Review… James Walton Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic A Scandal in Belgravia makes for a rollicking return to the Sherlock franchise and the writing, direction and performances are so sharp you can't help but feel the next two instalments will be even better. It's elementary. Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Knox Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic Sherlock proves to be a fun and exhilarating TV experience. Apr 8, 2019 | Full Review… Chuck Barney San Jose Mercury News Top Critic Moffat's greatest accomplishment may be all the things he didn't do. His Sherlock Holmes is the most relevant and compelling crime-solver on television -- and Moffat managed this by not changing very much at all. Sep 16, 2013 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic A witty take on Arthur Conan Doyle's invention. May 6, 2012 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic Once again, Benedict Cumberbatch's modern-day Holmes and his intrepid sidekick Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) provide breathtaking non-stop exhilaration.

Apr 8, 2019 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review… Maysa Hattab PopMatters The key to the success of Sherlock lies not in the tale itself but in the stylish and massively entertaining manner in which it is told. Jul 20, 2018 | Full Review… Graeme Thomson The Arts Desk View All Critic Reviews (34) Audience Reviews for Sherlock: Season 2 Aug 17, 2019 E1: 3.75 E2: 3.75 E3: 3.5 Scott P Jul 11, 2019 A nice second season but it doesn't quite feel as coherant as the first, Mainly because of the Hounds of baskerville episode. Fred M May 30, 2019 Season 2 of Sherlock only improves on the first season, bringing in some magnificent mysteries and truly depraved villains. Ethan B Mar 10, 2019 Honestly better than the first series. Scott L Dec 28, 2018 This is about as Peak Television as you'll get. Season 2 of Sherlock is one of the most clever, genius-written seasons of a show period. Episode 3 (The Reichenbach Fall) is my favorite episode of TV ever. I don't get the hate for Hounds Of Baskerville either. I thought it was great. And the Irene Adler episode might even compete with Ep. 3 as the best in the show. What a great season this was.Truly Masterful Wind 4 Dec 21, 2018 It lives up to the hype and is probably the best season in the show. Everything that season one delivers on, this one does it as well. And The Reichenbach Fall is easily on of the best episodes in the series. Dec 14, 2018 The best show, but not the best season. However, the end was amazing and unpredictable, loved it. Sep 07, 2018 WOW! WATCH IT IF YOU HAVE NOT! Josh D Aug 14, 2018 Benedict cumberbatch plays sherlock great Jul 31, 2018 Season two of Sherlock contains even better episodes than the first delivering a smart, witty and overall spectacular show.
