More Critic Reviews for Sherlock Season 2 All Critics (27) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (27) | 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 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. May 6, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic The fun is in the snappy dialogue and the impeccable actors delivering it. May 6, 2012 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Strikes a perfect and delicious balance among comedy, pathos, murder, and mystery. May 6, 2012 | Full Review… Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic 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 It will take might work in the next season for Gatiss and Moffat to make a convincing case that their resolution to this ending is anything but a cheat, but at this point, they've earned a degree of this viewer's trust. Jul 3, 2018 | Full Review… Charles Webb MTV Once again star Benedict Cumberbatch is magnetic with the quirky, sly demeanor he brings to Sherlock Holmes. May 6, 2012 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Ultimately, "Sherlock" doesn't play fair, but the game is so enjoyable, you'll be happy you joined in. May 6, 2012 | Full Review… Mark A.
