Has anyone seen this?

I don’t know if it’s available in the USA. If it is then I highly recommend it; it’s brilliant. A second series is planned.

Yes and can't wait!

Series 2 has now been filmed and will be out sometime later this year. There will be a bit of a Sherlock reunion going on as Rupert Graves is in it although I don’t know if his appearance is as an ongoing character or just a one off. Also appearing are some very familiar names (in the UK at least): Simon Callow; Miranda Richardson, Jason Watkins and Claire Skinner.

I’m sure that it will be worth the wait.

Just watched the first three episodes of series 2...

The standard has been maintained.

(Actually watching an old Jeremy Brett sherlock Holmes, now.)

Does it mean it's good?

I keep getting posts on Insta, at least it's looking good. Had no time/energy to look up where to stream it, but it's on the list.

Several places, not all of them free though: https://www.werstreamt.es/serie/details/4183199/bookish/

It is excellent.

I am so pleased for Mark.

I feel this is the series he always talked of writing. ..

an original, not constrained by the Sherlock mould.

The FIRST series DVD and Blu-ray are available on both Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk) and Amazon US (https://www.amazon.com).  Amazon UK also has what I take to be a German-language version.

None of them are cheap (or even what I'd call reasonably priced), though!  I'm hoping the price may come down once it's no longer quite so current.  (On the other hand, they could simply stop selling them at that point.)

There is a trade-paperback novelization (or actually "short-story-ization") by Matthew Sweet available for about half that price.  Reviews are mixed but overall favorable.
