À mon humble avis ce Sherlock Holmes est un des meilleurs remake de cette série. Benedict Cumberbatch est extraordinaire et sa voix à à tomber. Les intrigues sont exceptionnelles et j'aime beaucoup le format dans lequel c'est filmé.

Wow, never ever would of thought of how they put the story lines in. You can see the mix of varies stories. I was entranced.I will be watching again to really understand it better. Boy can he talk fast! But I'm impressed. As I'm partial to Jeremy Brett for the character. To me he was the only one. But Benediction did pretty good in the modern times!

Great to have this series actually written, developed and acted in by actual "fan boys" of the Canon. Season Two hits it out of the park by expanding more on the relationship between Holmes and Watson as well as giving us the Gatiss and Moffat take on 3 icons of the world of Sherlock Holmes - Irene Adler, the "Hound" and Professor James Moriarty.

Great Show.! Another awesome series. Cumberbatch and Martin Do a bloody good job in the parts. Fellow future buyers of this series be sure that if you are buying this from other counties that your player is region free as I as saw that a few other fellow customers have said they had issues of Sherlock not working well or not at all.

This is the second series of a modern Sherlock Holmes, operating in modern times. It remains true to the original Holmes. Benedict Cumberbatch did a phenomenal job in the first series, and duplicates that successful job of reflecting what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote many years ago in creating this character. Not to be missed. But then, if you tried the first series, you know what a treat this second series is.

Perfectly cast and truly exceptional writing make this the ideal Sherlock for the modern age. It is even better than the first series which I also enjoyed. The relationship between the dysfunctional Sherlock and the long-suffering Watson is at times witty, painful, aggravating and yet completely real. Sherlock's battle with his nemesis, Moriarty, is frightfully good to watch and it becomes hard to tear your eyes away from the subtle nuances of the characterizations. Treat yourself to a series that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator.

An excellent modern day interpretation of the Holmes-Watson dynamic duo. Based on some of the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories but "messaged" in a good way to bring them into this century. It's always nice seeing shots in and around London and Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman were excellent choices for this timely duo, can't wait for season 4,5 etc,.

La seconda stagione innalza la qualità degli episodi, già alta nella prima stagione. Come per tutte le stagioni l'audio è in inglese e italiano e i sottotitoli in italiano. La qualità di audio e video è buona, senza difetti come le altre stagioni. Extra stavolta scarsini. La spedizione è stata senza difetti e la consegna puntuale.

Was für ein hohes Level die erste Staffel von "Sherlock" doch gesetzt hat. Die derzeit beste UK-Serie ist Futter für Augen, Ohren und Hirn zugleich. Die beiden Haupt-Charaktere? Der Humor? Die Inszenierung? Die Dialoge? Von einzigartiger Klasse, topmodern gestaltet, fürs TV-Programm beinahe schon überqualifiziert. Wenn wundert's da, dass durch dieses TV-Highlight die Akteure Cumberbatch und Freeman blitzschnell auf der Hollywood-Agenda landeten und nun auch in großen Kino-Blockbustern wie "Star Trek", "Der Hobbit" und Co. ihre darstellerischen Fertigkeiten bestätigen dürfen. Für uns "Sherlock"-Fans hat das natürlich den dummen Nebeneffekt, dass die Pausen zwischen den Staffeln nun größer ausfallen als von uns gewollt. Tja, was soll man machen, so läuft nun einmal das Filmgeschäft. Aber solange der Benedict und Kollege Martin weiterhin für ihre Kultrollen zur Verfügung stehen (sowie sich die Zeit dafür bietet), kann es mir auch recht sein.

Wie schlägt sich nun die zweite Season, die noch im Folgejahr der Ersten erschien?

Ich würde sagen: Auf fast unverändertem Niveau. Business as usual, würde ich fast behaupten, weil ziemlich routiniert. Mit einer Ausnahme: Antagonist Moriarty bekommt endlich DIE Mattenscheiben-Präsenz die ihm in der Debüt-Staffel noch vorenthalten wurde und darf dem Seher in der Final-Episode einen unvergesslichen Angesicht-zu-Angesicht-Moment mit seinem geistig auf Augenhöhe liegenden Rivalen Sherlock bieten. Ein Konfrontationstreffen zweier Genies, die einiges gemeinsam haben und doch auf grundverschiedenen Seiten stehen.
Zudem wird auch eine weitere, sehr bekannte Figur endlich eingeführt: Irene Adler. Die gewitzte wie betörend schöne Kriminelle setzt die Reize und Waffen einer Frau so gekonnt ein, dass sie selbst den (eigentlich) für "Liebe" unempfänglichen Sherlock um seinen funktional-brillanten Verstand bringt. Die vielleicht einzige Person, die auf den "Belstaff Milford Coat"-Träger eine besondere Faszination ausübt, weil er sie (anders als alle anderen Menschen denen er begegnet) nicht auf den ersten Blick "abscannen", quasi wie ein Buch lesen kann. Sie ist das große, nicht völlig durchschaubare Fragezeichen, auf das er keine klare Antwort findet, und genau das macht sie für ihn besonders "attraktiv".
Ansonsten prägt diese Staffel die intensivierte Holmes-Watson-Beziehung. Die Freundschaft der Beiden und die allgemeinen Spannungen, die sich immer wieder zwischen ihnen auftun, erfahren hier einen höheren Stellenwert. Sherlock wirkt in seltenen Augenblicken fast schon „menschlich“, während John gerade zum Staffelende für die emotionalsten Szenen sorgt und dank Martin Freemans grandiosem Spiel so richtig aus sich herauskommt. Ich glaube, ich habe in ihn meinen Lieblingscharakter dieser Serie gefunden.

Wie schon in Staffel 1, hier meine persönliche (!) Notenvergabe:

„Ein Skandal in Belgravia“ - Beste Folge dieser Staffel und für mich überhaupt die wohl Beste der ersten beiden Staffeln. Höchster Humor-Grad, tolle Neu-Interpretation der Irene Adler, äußerst wendungsreich erzählt. Und der besondere Handy-Klingelton ist jetzt schon ein kultverdächtiger Insider-Gag. ^^ 5/5

„Die Hunde von Baskerville“ – Ist das eine Serien-Krankheit oder kommt es nur mir so vor?! Wie schon in Staffel 1 bildet das Mittelstück wieder (!) die schwächste aller drei Season-Folgen. Hat mich nicht ganz so sehr mitgerissen, wohl auch weil diese unerwartet vorhersehbar war, der Fall an sich wirkte bei weitem nicht so ausgeklügelt wie der davor bzw. danach. Insgesamt noch ausreichend unterhaltsam, und erstmals zeigt der gute Sherlock sowas wie Nerven. 3-4/5

„Der Reichenbach-Fall“ - Bis auf die Einleitung geizt das Staffel-Finale fast völlig auf humorige Einlagen. Empfand die üblichen 90 Minuten hier etwas zu knapp bemessen, die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Ereignisse leidet unter der mitunter heftigen Beschleunigung ein wenig. Das finale Psycho-Spiel zwischen Sherlock und Moriarty hab ich offen gesagt auch nicht so recht verstanden ("Ich bin Sie"), saß mit Beginn der Credits etwas ratlos da. Dennoch eine gute Episode, weil der Darsteller von Sherlocks Erzfeind ne echte Granate ist bzw. war (???). Ich hoffe inständig, dass Staffel 3 offene/wichtige Fragen klärt, die hier (vorerst) unbeantwortet bleiben. 4-5/5

Fazit:
Insgesamt betrachtet eine gelungene und würdige Staffel, welche die Klasse ihrer Vorgängerin gut halten, wenn auch nicht übertreffen kann. Bin gespannt was in Staffel 3 auf uns zukommt.

While Season One of BBC's SHERLOCK was insanely entertaining, incredibly intelligent, and remarkably well-acted, just three episodes wasn't enough. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss did an extraordinary thing with the iconic tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: They MODERNIZED it. While that isn't a particularly remarkable thing in and of itself, what REALLY is extraordinary about this series is that the modernization WORKED flawlessly.

This season (which just ended last night in the U.S. being broadcast on PBS with some rather controversial editing since apparently eight minutes of each episode had to be chopped off to make room for PBS advertising) was not just better than the first season, it was more involving from a character standpoint. We got a much better glimpse into the souls of Sherlock Holmes (the wonderful Benedict Cumberbatch, who is rapidly becoming one of the hardest working men in Hollywood as well) and his faithful companion Dr. John Watson (the equally great Martin Freeman). The wonderful thing that this show has done since its inception has been to not marginalize the friendship between Holmes and Watson, but also not marginalizing Watson himself. While he is in constant awe of Holmes' remarkable deductive skills, he's also his own man and not the plump, blundering buffoonish character of old adaptations, and he makes important contributions to each case.

This season does only give us three more episodes, but each episode is essentially one feature-length film. The first episode is the best of the entire series yet, "A Scandal In Belgravia", which introduces this incarnation of Sherlock Holmes to the character of Irene Adler, who casual fans of the detective have seen as portrayed by Rachel McAdams in both of the Downey Jr./Law SHERLOCK HOLMES films. She is originally, as portrayed in Guy Ritchie's entertaining films, an American who moves to Europe and becomes a "courtesan" who is something of a foil and love interest for Holmes. In this episode though, Adler (Lara Pulver of MI-5) is a dominatrix who has enough secrets on her mobile phone to practically bring down the entirety of England. She enters into something of a game of obsession with Holmes. This game does bring other players, naturally, and soon Holmes is looking at something much larger. Cumberbatch and Pulver bring a very heightened sense of sexual tension to their scenes together, as Holmes feels something more for this woman than for any other woman in his life. Although, I have to say that arguably my favorite part in this episode is where we see how strong the bonds are between Holmes and his maternal landlady Mrs. Hudson (the wonderful Una Stubbs). The message is clear: Don't mess with the friends of Sherlock Holmes.

Then comes "The Hounds of Baskerville", which is the least of this season. A troubled young man comes to Holmes and Watson with the tale of a gigantic hound that killed his father years before in the countryside area of Dartmoor. At first, Holmes is astonishingly bored with the idea of this case, but something the young man says specifically pricks up his ears and the game is afoot. Also in Dartmoor is a government research facility called Baskerville, where apparently many secret experiments are being done, including genetic research. Could there be a military experiment of the creation of a huge dog? Is the explanation more complex even than that? There were many things to love about this episode, with one of my favorite moments being that of Holmes trying to quit smoking and references a "seven percent solution", but this was the only episode when I felt like I was ahead of Holmes and exactly what was happening and how it was happening. It still works and it is still very entertaining, particularly Cumberbatch's performance as he first truly feels the effects of fear and panic for perhaps the first time in his life.

Finally, we have "The Reichenbach Fall", which is a reference to the final confrontation between Holmes and his arch-nemesis James Moriarty. This episode, like the finale of the first season "The Great Game", is extremely dark and foreboding, as well it should be since you can't really have a light-hearted take on the mental combat between Holmes and Moriarty (played with flamboyant and psychotic relish by Andrew Scott). There's nothing I really want to say about this episode that can do it justice, but it's incredibly smart, incredibly tense and incredibly disturbing.

The other thing that the show has been so brilliant at doing is giving a more realistic (and more modern) take on the friendship between Holmes and Watson. It never tries to imply that they are more than friends, but the hordes of readers and critics of the Holmes/Watson partnership over the decades have done enough examinations of their own to come to the illogical conclusion that Holmes and Watson are lovers. These people are repeatedly poked fun at via the voice of Watson as he reads or hears or sees people who see the two of them as lovers, which is a bit of a running gag throughout the season, and Freeman plays it perfectly with just the right mixture of offense and incredulity. The other primary relationship here is that of Sherlock's relationship with his brother Mycroft (played by Mark Gatiss). Their relationship is strained beyond repair, but there's something touching about Mycroft's concern for his younger brother while at the same time, as in "A Scandal in Belgravia", where Mycroft knows his brother's incapability to work within the confines of normal society.

It's always a joy to see a program about extremely intelligent people that is created by extremely intelligent people. While I've never been a fan of DOCTOR WHO, I was extremely impressed with Moffat's updating of the Jekyll/Hyde tale in the series JEKYLL with the great James Nesbitt.

SHERLOCK will have "competition" soon on U.S. television as the upcoming CBS series ELEMENTARY with Johnny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Watson (?) in yet another update, but apparently with the added attraction of doing some gender-bending. If this is anything like all the other procedural mysteries on CBS, it will probably be hugely successful from a ratings standpoint, but will be a massive creative failure. But it might well get people interested in this series, and that might just be good enough.
