As in the first series of Sherlock the job of directing has been given to two different directors and as in the first series Paul McGuigan is in a different class than his counterpart, this time Toby Haynes (episode: The Reichenbach Fall) last time Euros Lyn(Episode: The Blind Banker) and this one (A Scandal in Belgravia) is to my mind the best of them all. It is extremely close to a masterpiece, unfortunately he had to pamper to the American audience by putting a Hollywood ending on it the very last 49 second if he had resisted it would have deserved 10 stars no doubt instead he went a long way destroying it which is a tragedy. Since seeing it I just been annoyed over how he could have destroyed something that superb with such a half arced ending when what before it was so sublime.
