Sherlock: The Hounds of Baskerville (2012)
Season 2, Episode 2
9/10
Polished, imaginative, plenty of bite.

The first two series of Sherlock were quite superb, they hardly put a foot wrong, The Hounds of Baskerville, in my opinion is one of the best. It is such a slick, creative, truly imaginative reworking of Conan Doyle's most famous novel, who's not heard of the blood thirsty hound, that terrifies people on the Moors? This could have easily been a disaster, but it wasn't, it was superb, back then the show was super clever and witty, without being smug.

Plenty of scares and thrills, definitely dramatic enough to keep you fully engaged and entertained.

Superbly acted, Cumberbatch and Freeman on top form, special mentions for Russell Tovey and Amelia Bullmore.

Excellent production values, several scenes from this one lived with me a long time.

I'd class this as excellent. 9/10
