I liked it, but it wasn't as good as the first one since I think a lot of the element surprise was removed since we knew that Holmes was re-cast as a bad guy. In the first series it was fun to see his pompousness and sadism come out to flip him from good guy, but that's known and so we just see him go from bad to worse. Moriarty is also flipped and has been recast as hero who turned to crime to clear his name and find the real killer. There is a shadow government that is responsible for his frame up and now we get into that a bit more; enter Helen Mirren as Porlock, our arch enemy. That part was pretty fun, but some of the scenes and set up were a bit long. In the end, we've got a new tragedy and of course Holmes is up to no good and that will carry the next installment which I will be anxiously awaiting!… (altro)

This is fantastic! Everything about it is really fun from the acting and portrayals to the sound production and music. Those last two are not too intrusive or over-the-top, but pretty balanced. Many of the actors here are better known for their screen work, but they do just as well as voices only. Maybe it's more of a challenge to have the visual element removed, but they all meet and exceed it. I did spot most of the solution early on, but it didn't come together precisely the way I imagined, so I got a little surprise which I hope gets continued to another series. Oh and the role-reversal was really delicious. I loved to see our two arch enemies switch places. A great addition to the Holmes universe. Or should I say, the Moriarty universe? I was ready for another 10 episodes when the last one ended!… (altro)
