Acting: B
Music: B
Enjoyment: Much better than the first series, which I did not like. I continue to not understand what people see in Cumberbatch; Jeremy Brett could Sherlock circles around him. (And I have more than a little resentment towards him for Star Trek. A white actor who takes a role of a non-white character is not someone I want to see more of.) And Moffat continues his annoying habit of not letting you forget how hard he's trying. Still, it's a pretty good show. B

GPA: 2.9/4
