Final Episode of Sherlock Season 2 Airs this Sunday on PBS

Sherlock (BBC, PBS, Season 2)

The third and final episode of the second season of Sherlock airs this coming Sunday, May 20th, on PBS. The series has already been renewed for a third season.

In "The Reichenbach Fall" — inspired by "The Final Problem", the famous Arthur Conan Doyle story in which Sherlock Holmes "dies" — Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) is lauded throughout Britain for his numerous triumphs of detection, the most famous of which was the recovery of Turner's masterpiece, "Falls of the Reichenbach." The media love him, his deerstalker hat, and his friend, "confirmed bachelor" John Watson (Martin Freeman). But wary of a tabloid culture that devours its own, John warns Sherlock to keep a low profile. Meanwhile, Sherlock's arch-nemesis, the criminal mastermind Moriarty (Andrew Scott), emerges from the shadows and into the spotlight with a menacing vow and a cat-and-mouse game conceived entirely for the object of his obsession. While John worries about a pending tabloid exposé of his friend and Moriarty's promised final problem, Sherlock continues to assist Lestrade (Rupert Graves) solving crimes. But eventually even Sherlock must turn his absolute attention to the unhinged, evil genius' threat, "I owe you a fall."

If you missed the first two episodes, they are available to view online at PBS.org. (Episode 1 is available through June 5th, episode 2 through June 12th, and presumably starting this coming Monday episode 3 through June 19th.)
