"Look he just survived the Reichenbach al with it." This is not cute or an inside joke, and has shown nothing but incompetence from the writers. This bandwagon support will soon be superseded by laments for the promise that was once apparent, but in the hands of this team was not realizable.

(Bobby Euing in the shower post-mortem.) It is absolutely certain that this initial gush of support for this installment comes from those who were told to expect clever and don't have the wit or courage to recognize that they didn't get it. How short on ideas must you be to be forced to resurrect your most gratuitous over-actor to puff out a ver thin and inconsequential mystery.
WHEN TO WATCH SHERLOCK THE ABOMINABLE BRIDE SERIES
Watson profess his man-love through misty eyes and missed breaths? How often must Mycroft deny his man-love and brotherly concern? How did anyone think giving Mycroft Holmes the Kranks treatment or giving Molly Hooper a bad case of pantomime transvestitism was anything short of a death knell for a show which is very much rudderless in high seas? The best thing that ever happened in this series was the again pantomime baddie Moriarty shutting his own gaping face hole with a bullet. Every character except the title character have become ridiculous caricatures of their former selves. To answer the question where can we go with these characters? Gatiss and co have come up with the answer down the same old avenues but this time in clown shoes. This franchise has had a season and a bit to falter and fail to retrieve any of the promise of the first two seasons.
