sherlock-season-two-blu-rayFormer Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (who does double duty by playing Sherlock’s brother Mycroft Holmes) continue their reimagining of Sherlock Holmes in modern day London. The Second Season starts out with one of Holmes’ most famous cases and the introduction of “The Woman,” followed by a demon hound loose on the moors, and ends with the fall, and apparent death, of the detective at the hands of Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott).

Of the three episodes from this season, the first (“A Scandal in Belgravia“) is my favorite. The episode introduces the character of Irene Adler (Lara Pulver), the only character to ever best Holmes in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original stories. Pulver makes a deliciously conniving Adler and brings out a side in this version of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) we had not seen before.

CBS has released a teaser for Elementary, the new modern day American take on Sherlock Holmes starring Jonny Lee Miller as the great detective and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson. I have serious doubts as to whether or not the CBS series will be able to reach the bar set by BBC’s Sherlock (and this short behind-the-scenes look doesn’t instill me with confidence), but as a Holmes’ fan I’m willing to give it a shot. Elementary is set to premiere on September 20, 2012.

Just when they are needed most to make sure Christopher Pelant’s (Andrew Leeds) appeal doesn’t overturn his original conviction, Booth (David Boreanaz) is given a new murder case involving the discovery of a body in the National Hamilton Wildlife Refuge where all the evidence points to Bones (Emily Deschanel).
