He may not be as pretty as Robert Downey Jr, but this Sherlock rocks.
The second season of Sherlock isn't so much a TV series, but more like a trio of awesome movies made especially to enjoy in the comfort of one's own home.
There are only three episodes - the first aired last week - each an hour-and-a-half long.
The quality is so outlandishly good for a TV show that Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes flicks actually suffer in comparison.
You don't get the same level of CGI mayhem, but in terms of sheer storytelling savvy this series comes out tops.
The show is about a super-smart weirdo, Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch, top left), who solves crimes with his adorable sidekick, Dr John Watson (Martin Freeman, top right).
Of course, you know all this.
What you might not know, unless you watched season one, is that the story is set in present-day England - the London Eye is shown in the opening credits, in case there was any doubt.
Taking a classic character and placing him in a modern setting might seem a tad daring, but it isn't exactly the most original idea.
