I liked this episode more than the pilot, but most pilots are missing a little something as they have to cram so much into a single episode to try to hook everyone for one reason or another.

I thought that the episode seemed to flow better from scene to scene. You got more character depth, more layers were slowly peeled away. You got glimpses of who Sherlock and Joan really are underneath the shells they’ve both built around themselves for various reasons. And as these layers are stripped down, they’re getting to know one another better.

Sherlock and Joan work more as a team in this episode than they did in the previous one, but again, they hadn’t known one another very long then. Give it another couple episodes and they’ll be great together.
