I guess I don't understand why, in America, we don't have a network willing to forgo quantity for quality.
This 3-6 episode format is normal on BBC. It really is great. |

So my understanding is that Sherlock's parents in the show are really Cumberbatch's real parents.

MoF, there is a NY Councilwoman named Cumberbatch because her ancestors took the name of their owners. http://www.buzzfeed.com/ellievhall/n...edict-cumberba

Finally getting around to watching S3E3. About halfway through.
What an incredible show. |

Might be my favorite episode. A Scandal in Belgravia is awesome because of the Sherlock/Irene Adler dynamic and The Reichenbach Fall is great because of Moriarty, but the season 3 closer just has so much to offer.

I thought the first half of the episode was phenomenal, but then I thought the second hour was nowhere close to that good. Not bad, just not...special, the way I felt about the initial hour.

What's weird is that I love this show, but I only think less than half of it is good. The only great episodes, IMO, are the first episode and the three series finales. The other five episodes are muddled and meandering.

I like the Irene Adler episode. But Cumberbatch's acting gets you through the duller moments.

In Doyle's fiction, Holmes calls her "THE Woman" because she's the only person to get the better of him. They are no worse than true equals. Having BBC Sherlock defeat her rubs me the wrong way. But I can admit the episode itself is better structured than any of the middle episodes, and s03e01. But, yes, the performances from Cumberbatch and Freeman can massage out most of the flaws in any script. Excellent work by the two of them. |

I guess these relocation of time setting will be a bit different. We'll see how they employ it, as that'll make all the difference for me. I'm confident though. They generally do a great job.
