I finished it in 24 hours. The characters and their interactions are woven together beautifully. Moriarty&#8217;s hinted darkness and progression into villainy is spectacularly written and acted. These 8 episodes are magical regardless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Another commented: &#8220;Absolutely awesome series! Highly recommend for family binge watching! Great cast and terrific storylines. If you are a Sherlock Holmes fanatic you will NOT be disappointed.
