Now imagine waiting for two years for the next season to come out. All the fans went completely insane crafting theories for how he survived. He definitely jumped off the roof. And the body on the ground didn't have a pulse. So how! We were obsessed.

My one issue with this show was that when Irene asked "Do you expect me to beg?" and Sherlock says "Yes", he didn't add "Twice." Such a missed opportunity.

I loved the transition from calling him "Watson" to calling him "John".

Man can Martin Freeman sell it. Funny note; in the book version of this the author did intend to kill off Sherlock Holmes as he'd got sick of writing him but he got so much hatemail that he brought him back.

I read somewhere once that there were scenes where John Watson was supposed to have dialogue, but Martin Freeman just said “oh, I’ll just do that with a look” And it works! Martin Freeman is just so good in this role!!

I cannot stress enough how hard it was to wait for TWO YEARS for season three to come out... the ultimate cliff hanger.

Girl, your tears are not on vain. The first three times I watched this episode, I always cried at Sherlock's fall. Not because he died (I knew he wasn't really dead), but because John thought he was dead. Because John was grieving, and I was grieving for him. 😢

Natalie is SHER LOCKED too 🤣

Sherlock and Watson: running for their lives after being framed and handcuffed Natalie: OMG this is so cute!

Scandal in Belgravia is easily my favourite episode of the series. The back and forth between Holmes and Adler is perfection.

Martin freeman is a great actor in my opinion. That last bit at the grave just radiated the right emotions to me.

Fun fact: Steven Fry was slated to play House's brother ala Mycroft. Scheduling did not permit and he wound up with a cameo as a different character BUT he did play Mycroft Holmes in Robert Downey Jr's version of Holmes.

The story the first episode here is based on is called "A Scandal in Bohemia." The opening line, as I remember) is "Sherlock only referred to her as 'the Woman.'"

‘He said it was a palace’ ‘Yeah well he would wouldn’t he’ Favourite line😂

Andrew Scott as Jim Moriarty is very great choice.. I'm suggesting u too to watch "Fleabag", u will see another great acting by Andrew which is the quiet opposite character he acted in Sherlock series.. Awesome reaction btw as always 💯

Molly may not get as much screen time, but Louise Brealey's portrayal of her really shined through, in my opinion. She actually became one of my faves, not just in the show, but a favorite character just in general. I believe she was actually written in just to be a one off character, mostly as a way to introduce Sherlock, but the show runner's loved Brealey so much that they continued to write her in. It's lovely to see her grow throughout the series, even in little ways!

Sherlock & Irene Adler = Batman & Catwoman. So similar, so much chemistry. Forever impossible for them to give up that part of themselves that keeps them apart

The House/Holmes thing goes even deeper. At one point Arthur Conan Doyle was a medical doctor. His mentor Joseph Bell had an extraordinary ability to tell things about his patient's lives and health by noticing little details. An ability that very much impressed Sir Arthur and was incorperated into the character of Sherlock Holmes. With House, the inspiration has come full circle.

Not only did this put Benedict on the map but it also made Martin a serious actor and certainly a household name. He is so understated in his acting, he is phenomenal.

seeing natalie actually being one step ahead of sherlock in figuring out the baskerville case in the second episode was actually pretty impressive.

Andrew scott plays this character so insanely well. Watching this series as it came out was so incredible. Every character was so good.

The funny thing about you not believing his death is that every reader of the original stories knew exactly what was going to happen in that episode because of the title: we just didn't know how they were going to get there or how they were going to fake it. The internet exploded with theories and they had two years to stew in it. FYI there's a video short that they released prior to season 3 called "Many Happy Returns". I suggest watching it before the third season. Great reactions!

The first episode of this season ranks as one of my favorite episodes of any show ever. All of the twists and double-crosses are so wonderful and clever and the acting is so wonderful throughout.

no listen martin freeman is such a good actor, like i was OBSESSED with this show when it came out, then kind of fell out of love with it bc of reasons and now have a kind of....fond, but critical nostalgia for it. ive seen that scene in front of sherlocks grave SO many times. and i still tear up when i hear john talking about how human sherlock was. like GOD he is so good.

Best season of Sherlock, in my opinion!

The acting in this show is so freaking good! And John really truly is the ultimate ride or die friend!!

You’ve been bamboozled. 😂 You’re definitely right, it hit harder not knowing there’ll be a season 3 or not.

Andrew Scott is an extraordinary actor in this series. This show really put him on the map.

i still remember the way everyone was trying to come up with explanations for what happened in between seasons, even my mum and her friends would discuss it over coffee lol it was fun

Having to wait 2 years to find out what happened was AGONY! LOL

Andrew Scott is an absolute gem. So brilliant at being cheeky and evil 🤣

(As a Brit... You genuinely have one of the best attempts at a British accent I've seen. Can confirm it is NOT garbage!!) Love the videos btw please keep them coming!!

10:02 He's not a psychopath. He's a high functioning sociopath.

WARNING: Jim Moriarty is NOT the creepiest person Sherlock will have to deal with.

this is easily my favorite season out of the entire show. each episode is bang on. fun fact: Arthur Conan Doyle (the author of the original books) did eventually get fed up with pumping out new sherlock stories. He felt it limited him as an author and so he tried to move on. The Final Problem was the last story he wrote, in which Sherlock and Moriarty jumped off a cliff to their deaths together… but by then the Sherlock fandom circa ~1890s was so strong that they quite literally did not accept that ending. They were hysterical and protested, wrote letters and cancelled their subscriptions and basically forced ACD to bring Sherlock back to life and keep writing stories. It was bonkers. Nowadays it’s so stereotypical to do the main character death fake-out, but in this case, the episode is truly just an iconic reference to a well loved character.

heads up in case you haven't seen this said yet, there is a mini-episode between seasons 2 and 3 that you can find on youtube called "many happy returns", and there is also a special full-length episode between seasons 3 and 4 called "the abominable bride". love that you're covering this show, really enjoying it so far!

Honey, if you thought you were crying now, you just wait for Season 3. I almost never cry (not exaggerating, I regularly go several years at a time without crying) and even I got choked up during "the speech".

Honestly, The Reichenbach Fall is one of my favourite episodes of television I've ever seen.

To this day Sherlock is my absolute favorite TV show of all time, and the finale for season 2 one of the best things I've ever seen. and Moriarty my favorite villain. Fun trivia in case some people don't know, Billie Eilish's song You Should See Me in a Crown is based on Moriarty and the name of the song is taken directly from the dialogue... "In a world full of locked doors, the man with the key is king, and honey, you should see me in a crown". This show is incredible and I love everything about it. So happy you're enjoying it!

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the best (and best known) stories from the books.

A mind palace is something from the original Sherlock books, but it’s also a real technique used for extreme memory recall. It’s actually really fascinating when you look into it. Glad you’re enjoying Sherlock so much, Moffat and Gattis did such an amazing job with this.

To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention Irene Adler under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex.

BBC One premiered a seven-minute Sherlock mini-episode over the 2013 Christmas period entitled "Many Happy Returns". The episode is available via BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button service, and BBC's KZfaq channel,[80] and acts as a prequel to the third series. The synopsis for the episode reads "Sherlock has been gone for two years. But someone isn't quite convinced that he's dead."[81] The 'someone' turns out to be Anderson, the forensics technician from series one and two, who has lost his job due to his obsessive conviction that Sherlock still lives. He had a long-standing mistrust of Sherlock, yet is one of the few people who believes Sherlock is alive, and is seen throughout the episode trying to convince Lestrade. Anderson tracks him via various mysterious events, from Tibet to New Delhi to Germany, in which Sherlock seems to be involved and points out that the incidents are getting progressively closer to London.

The SHER LOCKED scene is one of my favourites idk, the music and the exchange of looks between equals it's just so cool. Glad you're enjoying it and giving us your commentary!

You and all others who watch this after it's finish have it so easy. The Two or so year wait between seasons - especially this one - was torture. People were gradually losing their mind trying to figure it all out and with absolutely nothing until the new season, it was absolute chaos. Can't wait for you to watch the rest!

The end of this season was less of a cliff hanger and more of a roof jumper.

I have watched this show like 6 times AT LEAST and yet i still cry like a baby every time i see these last 10/15 minutes of Sherlock because Martin Freeman is just SUCH a great actor and i feel his emotions through this entire episode. Super excited to watch you continue the series!

The 2 year wait we had to endure for series 3 was cruel. Mind you, I was lucky enough to see the filming of that finale fall, which was fun and I also saw filming for the next season opener (no spoilers). Love this ep, although think 2.01 is my favourite. As for Moriarty, Andrew Scott is a phenomenal actor. He has such a range, whether villain, creepy, vulnerable, sexy, funny, he can do it all, especially on stage. Look out for his new film coming soon called All Of Us Strangers.

The Hounds of Baskerville was by far my favorite episode, because it's SUCH a cool take on the original story.

The reaction to them holding hands was such a mood I mean how can anyone not see the potential? 😌

Natalie, I'm so happy for you that you're experiencing this marvelous show, Sherlock, which is easily one of my favorite ever shows. You gave a very insightful analysis of Andrew Scott's portrayal of Moriarty. Your observation that he usually looks dead eyed, but becomes delighted whenever Sherlock surprises him, is a key part of his funny, edgy and scary performance. Don't worry, Moriarty isn't through with tormenting Sherlock yet. In season 3, you'll find that the stakes get bigger and so do the laughs... and the twists.

I love this season a lot. I struggle to decide whether I prefer S1 or S2. To me, both have 3 incredibly strong episoides but the 2nd episode of each is a little bit weaker than the others. Can you imagine waiting for YEARS to have a resolution to the ending of the last episode of this season. The breaks between seasons for this show felt so insanely long but with the quality of them and their length essentially being 3 movies per season, it's understandable.

First two seasons are pretty dang nostalgic, I'm curious to see what you'll think about season 4 lol

Yeah, John's emotions were real and Freeman's performance is brilliant... hard not to cry.

I still cry because of John. Seeing him hurting made me cry😢😢

When I first watched that first episode of this season, I stopped it and immediately re-watched it for the commentary I was so in love. Thanks for giving me an excuse to re-watch. 🙂

"She's a dominatrix, which reminds me, here's a word from our sponsor."

Yessss been waiting eagerly for more Sherlock!! My top tier comfort show, and one of favourite reactors to watch. 👌🏼

Fun fact; Lara Pulver was actually naked in that scene. They told her that just filming skin-to-the-wind would get things done much quicker and she just went for it.

Nat, simping for John is a whole mood, and I love it!

The S2 finale is one of the best episodes of television I think I've ever seen!

Love these Sherlock reactions! Make sure to watch "Many Happy Returns" before the next season.

So Sherlock was my first introduction to Andrew Scott way back in the day, and while obviously everyone in this amazing, he has become one of my absolute favorite performers of all time. He's grounded in this sort of manic mundanity and yet every performance his wholly unique, it's absolutely enthralling. His version of Hamlet is easily my favorite (Which is fitting because Cumberbatch's is probably my 2nd fave), absolutely worth a watch, cause while I appreciate the classic Shakespearean Drama™ of most performances, his is so... natural? His To Be or Not Be is one of the only versions I've seen that actually feels like a broken man grappling with suicidal thoughts and having that argument with himself by addressing the audience directly, the language is all the same but it feels so simply relatable and hits all the harder for it. Highly recommend watching at least that, it really impacted how I thought about Shakespeare. (Also his like, 4 minutes in 1917 is an absolute powerhouse of presence). Also, re: the glass, the gum and the diamond. The case was made of tempered glass (Same as car windows) which is very very hard to break normally, but if you strike it with a very small, sharp point it will completely shatter with a little force. So Moriarty used the gum to hold the point of the diamond against the glass and then hit it with the fire extinguisher, basically creating a really really *E*X*T*R*A* version of those little hammers you can buy in case you end up in a sinking car to break the windows. (This knowledge brought to you by Mythbusters :P )

You cut the best line "I may be on the side of angels but don't think for a second that I am one of them"

It's REALLY neat watching Natalie learn about these awesome characters and relationships from the Holmes universe and the way they're BRILLIANTLY put together in this show. Moffat really is incredible. Imagine having to wait 2 years and not even knowing for sure if there was going to be a season 3...

I imagine your reaction may be different to ours' because you didn't have to wait years between seasons.... but I'm interested in seeing the tone of your next Sherlock reactions.

The first episode of this series caused a awakening in me when I was 12, I’ll say no more

A Scandal in Belgravia is my favorite episode of the entire series, it’s so good

I ADORE you doing a British accent. It’s so good. But also I am SO happy you’re doing this series

Andrew Scott, my god, such a GREAT GREAT actor. I suggest Fleabag, if you want another british acting masterpiece (but comedy)

I love it when Natalie turns around in the chair 180° for the intro. It's just so good.

Moriarty with the diamond + gum, I think the idea is that the case is tempered glass, so very hard to break with a blunt object... but if you hit it with a sharp object you can break it. So he does it with style, sticking a pointy object (the diamond) to the glass and then hitting it with the fire extinguisher.

Every sherlock series is so intricate and crafted with so many different story lines ( no matter how minor) become significant. This is a very cerebral series, and there are turns within turns. The casting is brilliant, and the roles are perfect. So many times you deduce the plot, ant then they twist the universe and your concepts are wrong, but right. Enjoy!!!

Once again star Benedict Cumberbatch is magnetic with the quirky, sly demeanor he brings to Sherlock Holmes.

I've loved your reaction to this series, Natalie. It's well written and acted, let alone the direction and shot choices. When this was released there was a two year wait to see the outcome of things, I was a Sherlock Holmes fan from the books and other adaptations so, I knew what to expect to some degree, but they did such a great job in bringing the characters up to date for a modern audience.

watching this first broadcast on the telly here in the UK there was an eternity between this episode & start of series 3 - it was a cultural phenomenon at the time, the sheer scale of interest and theorising what was going to happen when series 3 started!

Regarding House, I remembering noticing his door number was 221b (before he moved in with Wilson) which is the same as Sherlock's. Just thought I'd mention that (hadn't seen anyone else mention it so far) because I found it fun 🙂

Can't wait too see you watch the next episode! Also, there are some great vids of the creators giving some insight into what they were planning/hoping for.

It had to be mentioned somewhere but don’t miss the RDJ movies. They’re not as Sherlocky but still a good watch. Holmes is one of my favorite characters so I’ll give any iteration a shot. Stay Golden.

Lol I was literally just looking for part 2 yesterday kinda figured it was about that time. Guess I was just a day early! Love this show and re-experiencing it again with Natalie is awesome

Feels so good to be relieving this series with you. Random, have you seen Starship Troopers??

Sherlock is an amazing series! ❤ Your reactions are so dynamic, I love it 😊

Thanks for the video!

Just fyi, the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. I found very good as well :)

The original “Hound Of The Baskervilles” Sherlock Holmes story is especially famous, beloved, and spooky. It was one of the four individually published Holmes books, the other 56 are short stories that were published in The Strand magazine. It’s great that this TV version of Baskervilles, while completely rewritten in plot, kept the high anxiety Horror aspect of the original.

Reichenbach Falls is a place in the Swiss Alps, where Sherlock "dies" in the books. I love the way that the episodes are named from inspiration from the books.

I love this show so much. Can't wait for more reactions!

//The women // One of the simple yet epic line Bcuz i took your pulse... 🖤

You are getting these very quickly! Brilliant!

Awesome show, just finished rewatching it again.

Thank you for these. Love your channel.

One major change from canon is that in the story which was the basis for the "Reichenbach" episode, Sherlock didn't come back at the end. That was because Doyle really intended it to be the last Sherlock Holmes story; he was tired of writing homes stories so he deliberately killed him off. Popular outcry was so great that he brought him back in the next story, but at the time it was written ? Holmes was definitely dead.

your english accent is pretty good! convinced me at first and im english

Reichenbach falls was the name of the waterfall that Sherlock and Moriarty died falling from in the last Sherlock Holmes book

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

I'm sooo happy when you mentioned House!! I recently started watching the show and IT IS AMAZINGGG I AM ADDICTED! I can't believe someone would actually mention house anymore since the show ended quite long ago

cant denny, you are such a sunshine

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

YAAAAAAY! Thank you! Love sherlock and love your reactions even more!❤
