Murder mysteries are becoming popular again. Recent hits like Knives Out, the new Hercule Poirot movies with Kenneth Branagh, and the Netflix adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club have helped bring the genre back, but there are even more fantastic murder mystery films out there.
For much of this week’s episode, titled “Belly of the Beast,” Merle remains a major threat despite already causing immense pain to the McLusky family by killing Kyle’s wife. Instead of leaving Michigan, he stays in Kingstown and masterminds an attack on Mike and those he cares about, using members of the Aryan Brotherhood. The captured AB soldiers taunt Mike, pointing out how vulnerable he would be in prison without Merle’s influence. They also brag about Merle continuing to operate actively in Kingstown, wrapping their threats in empty talk of honor, loyalty, and a criminal code.
The second season really emphasizes how quickly things can change, both at work and in people’s personal lives. Recently, a dangerous gas leak left a young worker named Jerrell permanently blind, which made the crew leader, Boss, question whether he wanted to continue working in the oil fields. By the episode “Forever Is an Instant,” he’s seriously considering leaving the job altogether. At a party celebrating 20 years of service at M-Tex, he seems peaceful and thankful – both for the generous gifts he received (including an expensive Rolex from Tommy, delivered by Dale) and for simply being alive.

While there are many differences between Young Sherlock and Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films, the biggest one involves the main villain. Introducing James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes’s famous enemy, into Young Sherlock is a significant change from how these characters have been portrayed in other live-action movies and TV shows.
These shows often feature confusing timelines, ambiguous rules, and enigmatic characters. This complexity transforms even straightforward stories into mind-bending puzzles that demand viewers develop theories and re-watch episodes. While challenging our patience, they also seem to be abandoning it, rewarding close attention and repeated viewings.
