Sherlock series 2 - still amazing

It was difficult to top such a great series like the first of Sherlock, but they did it. The people are the same, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss writing it, and with the same actors.
Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes, Martin Freeman as John Watson, Rupert Graves as DI Lestrade, Mark Gatiss as Mycroft Holmes, Louise Brealey as Molly Hooper and Andrew Scott as Jim Moriarty...
It starts exactly from where they left us, anxious to know how Sherlock is gonna save himself and John from such a bad bad situation... and it's amazing, the only real solution that actually can make sense.
It's an amazing moment when Moriarty and Sherlock, still holding guns, are so polite to each others, mouthing things like "I'm sorry" and "No it's fine", a scene like this would never have appeared on an american show. It's just SO British. And I love it.
This series too has only three episodes, 90 minutes long, which is a pity because I'd want lots of them, but is okay because they are so great. There is
 1 - A scandal in Belgravia -  when we see Sherlock dealing with a woman very provocative (she's a dominatrix), and when we see how Sherlock deals with sentiments (sort of)
 2 - The hounds of Baskerville, because of course they had to make the most famous adventure of Sherlock Holmes. Here we see Benedict Cumberbatch looking even more stunning than ever, and Rupert Graves too. I didn't like the guy who hires them, I'm sorry to say, he spoke in a strange way it was a bit annoying. I loved the spock moment, that was fantastic. When John says: alright... Spock! I love it.
The Reichenbach fall, which is so great, when Sherlock and Moriarty have their final showdown, when Moriarty turns everyone against Sherlock.
Just three episodes, but all of them so amazing! It's incredible.
Little bit of spoilers now, because I want to talk about a few scenes in detail.
In the first one, it's fantastic how they survive such a situation. In the swimming pool, at the end of the previous season, they were in a really bad bad situation, it seemed there were no way out, so we now have the solution: the only way out is that Moriarty changes his mind and lets them go, because someone calls him on the phone asking for ... what? Sherlock's help, I might guess.. in fact Irene needed Sherlock's help, like Mycroft says : "give him a puzzle and watch him dance" which is great how he says that. It's my favourite Mycroft moment!
We also see Sherlock being so cruel against Molly. He didn't want to, and for the first time every other character understood what we all understood watching it, when Molly comes to the 'Christmas party' all nicely dressed and with a gift, and we all know she likes Sherlock, and everyone understood it was all for Sherlock, and when he started talking so cruelly about it he was the only one not realizing that he was being cruel. When he does, he feels so bad about it he says "forgive me" to the astonishment of John, and gives her a kiss on the cheek. This is so touching, he's never done anything like that!
Understanding Sherlock also means to understand that he is so intrigued by Irene Adler because she's so smart he can't decipher her.
Plus, how can you not love it when writers give the fandom their slogan? I am sherlocked is amazing, and everyone is using it. I am Sherlocked too, in fact!
That scene when he guesses the password is Sher, also shows how Sherlock really is different from other characters. When he was alone with Irene, and she was trying to seduce him, and got really close, and he took her hand, and now he tells us that he actually took her pulse and realized from her heartbeat that she really felt something for him! Well, in some sort of way he does too, because he'll secretly go and save her.
In the third one there's one of the best scenes of all, when Molly says to Sherlock "you look sad when you think he can't see you" , he being John. It's an amazing Molly-scene, and is played incredibly by both Benedict and Louise Brealey.
I loved the beginning of this episode, when we see John teaching Sherlock how to behave in public :lol:
I was very pleased that they showed clearly that Sherlock wasn't dead, not leaving the audience with the uncertainty. I mean, of course he can't be dead if they want to make another season, but the fact that they showed it so clearly was good, and people knew at that point a new series would come.
