Sherlock-A Scandal in Belgravia

A short review about tonight's Sherlock episode....
--------------------------------------------------------------

Are you watching Steven Moffat's brillant BBC show Sherlock? If not, go see it! Go now! Don't even bother reading this! Just go watch it! Seriously.

Now, you've seen it? Good. I'll still try not to give too much away if you decided not to watch it (for some crazy reason. its a can't-miss-show).

The first three episodes of Sherlock series 1 were really good. Benedict Cumberbatch may just be the best Sherlock Holmes ever. And Martin Freeman is really good as Watson.

Now the first episode of Series 2 is just...wow. Fantastic. This one introduces the Woman. Holmes fans will know who that is. I won't tell you how she's introduced, but she really makes an impression. The actress who brings her to life, Lara Pulver, is brillant. She does a great job and has a really complex character. Everyone else is wonderful in this too, but its really Benedict Cumberbatch and Lara Pulver's show. Both of them are fantastic, the story is well written (by Steven Moffat), and its just a great reimagining of the orignal story.

Next week will be the Hound of the Baskervilles and after that The Reichenbach Falls. Can't wait! Its going to be excellent.
