It’s Coming! Sunday!

Last September, I raved about the British-produced Sherlock series.   I wrote:

Best Sherlock Holmes and Generally Great Netflix series. But don’t watch it yet! This is a modern adaptation of Holmes and Watson. Sherlock has a smart phone and he’s not afraid to use it. If one disregards the very watchable, but not literarily accurate, Robert Downy, Jr.’s Sherlock, this is the best Sherlock ever put on screen.

It’s done by a British company and the episodes are about 90 minutes long. This means they only make three of them in a season. The next season will be released in 2012. The 2010 finale ended with a cliffhanger. Don’t torture yourself by watching this excellent series too soon. But do treat yourself.

But now race to watch it because Season 2 premiers this Sunday on PBS. Caught up with Season 1?  Call me and let’s have a Sherlock party at our place.  Get a sitter to be with the kids while they sleep through a show that—dare I blaspheme?-- might even be a bit better than Downton Abbey!
