After an excellent first series, the show returned with this magnificent opening episode, Incan remember hoping it would be good, and instead being blown away by it. I think this series was where the show peaked, all episodes are wonderful, and this opener will have you hooked. The direction is special, it's visually jaw dropping, and the writing is astonishing, it has a magnificent sense of cleverness, but it's not unbearable, nor is it smug. Lara Pulver is sensational as The Woman, her acting is first rate, plus she's visually dazzling.
Many great scenes, but those between Sherlock and Adler are arguably the best. This is ninety minutes of drama at its absolute best.
Love it, 10/10.
