![]() The end product gave me very mixed feelings - I guess that probably means it's worth watching. This one is pretty weird, and has some distinctly interesting elements. You never believe he’s in any danger, even in the throes of an overdose or the middle of an overwhelming case. I have to admit that I deeply loved the first episode of the first season ("A Study in Pink"), and haven't felt that any of the intervening episodes have come remotely close to that one. Cumberbatch’s Sherlock is smarter, colder, and much less desperate. But the case of interest is, of course, "The Abominable Bride." The script goes out of its way to emphasize the sexism of the period, which becomes an important issue. We jump forward, with Holmes an established detective in large part because of Holmes's various stories in (or at least advertised in) The Strand. And so it goes, with most of our current characters all showing up, Lestrade and Mrs. The show starts by recapping the meeting of Holmes and Watson - almost identical to that in the very first episode, but all set circa 1890. Unfortunately, I can't explain that without revealing a whole bunch of spoilers. and the shakier your crime novel gets, the shakier your trick is. as illusions go it's simple and staggering and clever and you can't believe how obvious it was and how you missed it. people like 'and then there were none' because the ending isn't just clever but it's incredibly neat. once you watch this, you'll find it's actually in sequence. my opinion has always been a good crime story is basically a magic trick. It was notorious before it even hit screens because it threw Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) back to Arthur Conan Doyle's time - even though the entire three series prior had been set in the modern day. This is a one-off after the third series and not part of the upcoming fourth series. On January 1, 2016, "Sherlock: The Abominable Bride" was shown on the BBC.
