My first movie on Disney + and won't be the last I liked bit to short at 75 mins long but it was a good idea having a mouse as Sherlock Holmes and it works Vincent notice as the villian a role made for him no one could have voiced him with such mence And humour anyway good start to my movie watch on Disney +

Season 2 of the New-York set modern-day reimagining of Sherlock Holmes (and Dr Watson), with more of the same types of murder mysteries as in the first series.

Obviously.

That's the entire point!

Here, however, Joan is no longer Sherlock's sober companion but is now his protege, working alongside him to solve the cases they encounter whilst consulting with the NYPD.

For myself, the best episodes - I felt - where those with the always entertaining Sean Pertwee, although I wasn't so enamoured of those with Mycroft Holmes (Rhys Ifans) and the Dr Watson romance going on!

"Come at once if convenient. If not convenient, come at once all the same - SH"

The final entry in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon, which - again - I experienced through a mixture of reading and listening to the Stephen Fry narrated Audible version, and which is also really once again a collection of short stories rather than a single over-arching narrative.

What is unique in this collection, though, is that some of the stories are presented as Holmes himself delivering the narrative, rather than Watson acting as the biographer.

I also noticed - perhaps reflecting the nature of the time in which they were written, and Doyle's own interests - that there are more of the, shall we say, supernatural elements in the case chosen ("The adventure of the Sussex Vampire" springs to mind, for example) although - in all cases - the supernatural elements are later debunked by Holmes himself.

As a whole? I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the company of Holmes and Watson.
