New Mysteries with Sherlock

Season two of PBS Masterpiece's Sherlock started last night and will only run through the month of May (repeats from last night will be broadcast this week), so you may want to set the recorder and enjoy this fast-paced show.  And I say fast-paced because you have to keep up with Sherlock as his mind clicks on the latest crime, something that other around his on the series also struggle to do.  You really need to watch the show twice to take it all in. 

As expected, Moriarty is back and stirring up a bit of trouble in the latest episode A Scandal in Belgravia. I am just happy that Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) and Martin Freeman (Dr. John Watson) are back on television as the ornery pair that solve some pretty insane puzzles.  The three 90-minute programs will not last, so check them out (okay, maybe they will on iTunes and DVD, but you can see them while they are free on PBS).

Update:  Check out Maureen Ryan's interview with Sherlock executive producer Steven Moffat.
