In the following episode, The Hounds Of Baskerville, Sherlock and John find themselves in the wilds of Dartmoor when a traumatised young man presents them with a baffling case.
The Reichenbach Falls marks the return of Professor James Moriarty, Sherlock’s arch nemesis, who has the ultimate objective of tarnishing the latter’s reputation. Layered in intrigue and ambiguity, the series finale makes for a gut-wrenching emotional journey as Sherlock faces his insane rival alone.
Be it the friendly bickering between Sherlock and John, the palpable chemistry between Sherlock and Irene or the sinister insanity of Andrew Scott’s Moriarty, the series has garnered critical acclaim and a devoted fan following. Slick action and a fast-paced plot combined with uproarious dialogues and the freewheeling chemistry of its leads, all come together in this modern spin on classic mystery. Sherlock Series 2 premieres tonight at 8 on BBC Entertainment.
