Sherlock (and Sherlock [the show]) is that good, we do forgive his callousness, and yeah, we'll wait for two years for his return and never let our fervor flag. In exchange, when the miracle happens and he (and the show) come back, he's as good or maybe better than ever.
The performances are even better than in previous years, with brand new but fully credible sides of Holmes’ and Watson’s characters. And the writing, by Moffat and Gatiss, is in a league by itself.
Unique and Another Masterpiece season!Great music,amazing story and screenplay.starting episode and the whole death scene how did he pull that off it was literally amazing planned and executed it was brilliant and clever love the reactions to it later with punches and loved the direct cut to f...cough word it was funny.whole 1st episode was amazing although case wasn't that major around the return of him the bomb thing and all that loved the starting finally Sherlock kisses Molly and john having realtionship.2nd episode was amazing it felt funny and entertaining the wedding speech and side case it was fun to watch and like this whole season felt more of exploring relations of Sherlock and his love one's whole season it was amazing.3rd episode was great love the villain he was quite compare-able to Moriarty with Mind of Sherlock the episode was quite surprising and shocking specially with Mary's side and the ending it was great love the Christmas scene and that ending Do u miss me wow it was great and love the spin-off kind-of episode it was amazing themed and love the whole dream and Brides case.Overall whole season was extraordinary and amazing loved the Exploring side of Sherlock's relation with everyone and unique investigation of cases it was entertaining and Great season another Masterpiece season.
The writing is still incredibly crisp, so smart, and never boring, and the deeper focus on relatable emotion, particularly in the definition of the relationship between Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman), could even bring in new fans to this international phenomenon.
Mostly, the show deserves to do well because it’s so bloody good--smart, whimsical and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, finding fresh, distinctive avenues into this venerable character, even with multiple incarnations currently in circulation.
t's an entertaining episode that doesn't fall into the pacing trap so often seen in "Sherlock" where there's not enough story to hold the show up through its 90-minute running time. (Episode two fares worse in this regard, although it's still an entertaining outing.)
Sherlock moves swiftly and intelligently but also a little too coldly, like a long commercial for better WiFi..... Cumberbatch’s take on Holmes’s narcissism can come off as skeevishly robotic. If not for Freeman’s deeper, more human work as Watson, the style would soon go sterile.
The bad news: We won't be seeing this fantastic series for another four years (at best?)
The good news: Because 'Sherlock' appears so seldom, it never gets stale. The fourth season was another triumph of writing and acting skills replete with twists and turns, villains and heroes to remain worthy of its devoted fan base, with just enough pathos (Mary Watson's demise, Molly Hooper's love confession) to keep its human touch.
As much as it pains me to say it, this season is disappointing. After a two year wait to reveal the outcome to one of the most gripping finales in TV history, the opening episode seems to struggle decide on which theory it itself wants to believe. To its credit, the chemistry between the two main characters does come flooding back in full flow and it is actually my favourite episode of the season. The rest of the season however seems to lack the thrill and suspense the two prior where able to generate. The pacing and forced outside narrative that is not seen prior to season three add a glitch-like distraction that dampens the quality ever so slightly. The end of the season seems quite rushed and not as well thought out in contrast to the two previous seasons. Overall still an enjoyable journey, but nothing on the previous Holmes and Watson outings.
Good but not excelent. Some things just don't add up logically which is weird since sherlock is portrayed as being deservingly arrogant. I mean who has a name as password for his account as a high security national intelligence agency chief or something like that, no way anyone can guess a password like that.
We LOVED the first two season of Sherlock, which were based on Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle's works; however, this third season is more into personalities and "emoting" than plot or story structure. The two episodes so far were filled with flashbacks, memories, and opium dreams. I'll have to talk my husband into watching the third episode against his better judgment. This is the "Monarch of the Glen" problem. A hit show tries to attracts additional demographics, becomes soap opera-esque, and ruins a fine series that could have gone on for a decade. Drama is a poor second to believable stories based on human behaviors.
