I watched Season 1 of Sherlock last year and enjoyed it a lot. Clever direction, pretty good plotting and writing, acting a bit overwrought, though, but given the eccentric nature of Holmes himself, allowable.

Season 2, however, has been another matter. Long-winded, confused, dull, heavily clichéd, and even more hammy. The direction has been lack-lustre, the writing appallingly bad, and the actors sleep-walking through their parts. All the digital graphics used this season are mostly intrusive rather than clever.

Ugh. I only made it half-way through the last utterly absurd episode, apparently written by untalented 10 yr olds.
