finally caught up with it. The first two episodes were probably among the weakest of the whole show, but I really dug the finale. It is certainly moved away from what it started out as, and is a bit too much at times, but it was very well written and incredibly tense, I thought, even if it was totally silly and over-the-top.

I really hated it. Not only did the individual mysteries fail to be gripping, they also led nowhere--it felt like the direction an episode started off in was inconsequential to where it ended, and the original mystery had no bearing on the final story. The character dynamics felt off, and the show was veering into melodrama with Mary and everything that happened in that finale. Certain things felt like fan service-- the whole forced Molly/Sherlock love declaration, Moriarty being in the episode at all (what the hell purpose did he serve other than being insanely annoying with those repetitive sound bites), and there being another fucking Holmes sibling even smarter than the other two  . I didn't think that Abominable Bride could be topped in terms of disappointment, but it was...with an entire season. |

This show has just totally lost it. I don't even remember the first two episodes, and while I did like the third one a fair deal if it's come to a point where they waste time for 2 weeks before the grand finale (season 3 was the same) then they should just put it out of its misery. It does seem to me like all involved have lost real interest in it, and it's probably best to just remember it as it was those first two wonderful years  |

Haven't checked it out yet, but after that abortion that was The Abominable Bride... can't say I'm exactly rushing to see it either.

A total disappointment.
