From the New Yorker:

Getting Sherlock Holmes Right Onscreen



" The BBC series, a string of three ninety-minute films per season, achieves in modern dress what the Ritchie film attempts in fancy Edwardian costume."

--> I think he means Victorian costume.

" The Mind Palace.” In a way, half the series is set in Holmes’s mind palace... “the Heart Palace.”

--> I don't get that as the "Mind Palace" is a reference the "method of loci" and saying that its set in Holmes's mind palace may be a play on words, but does not make sense. While the comment about the “the Heart Palace,” is again a play on words but meaningless.
