Lack of good storyline.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This was most clever and entertaining episode. I absolutely love this interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. I also enjoyed they way the writers managed to go back and fourth in time. The excellent acting of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in these roles makes this one of the best programs to watch.The writing is terrific with a plot that had more ups and downs than a mountain range, more ins and outs than a maze and more twists and turns than a dozen corkscrews, in short it was a triumph. Starting with a Victorian-era impossible murder with an even more impossible murderer, guest appearances by all the previous supporting cast including a massively-bloated Mycroft, surely a homage to Sydney Greenstreet and the return of the master-criminal we've all missed, a premonition of another husband-slaying in a big old house after dark, a recreation of the real Reichenbach Fall climax of yore, an ingenious denouement anticipating female suffrage years later but perhaps the best thing of all was the promise of a new series to come. BRAVO!!!

I think everybody have known Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson.. By reading books (Sir Arthur canon Doyle), movies( credits goes to Sir Robert downy Jr and Jude Law) And many others Previous series ( mostly like Jim Barrett) till date....But dude you have to believe me that this series is even more anticipated and turn every stone upside down....i think Benedict Cumberbatch and martin freeman has done splendid job in this series....I think you will witness every side of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in SHERLOCK even more clearly ...if you don't believe me just go to this link you will discover on your own"Thought catalog and search for it and it will shows that SHERLOCK is the best in 26 ways"because... "Don't watch everything without observing it"

Shetrlock is definitely my favorite TV-series and I was really excited for this episode, because it was going to be at the Victorian era and with apparently a dark case for sherlock to solve. The problem is that the storytelling was very messy, there is no great conclusion to the case, he simply solves it while there is another story running (no spoiler). In the end, everything was just a promo for season 4 and is related to Moriarty's death and the sherlock's true reality. Good things: Victorian era was beautifully represented and the acting is magnificent and a good and promising end. Bad: Confusing storytelling. I would give 8/10

This franchise has had a season and a bit to falter and fail to retrieve any of the promise of the first two seasons. To answer the question; where can we go with these characters? Gatiss, Moffet and co have come up with the answer; down the same old avenues but this time in clown shoes. Every character except the title character have become ridiculous caricatures of their former selves. How many times must ubber-earnest Dr. 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. 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. (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. 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. "Look he just survived the Reichenbach Fall..deal with it." This is not cute or an inside joke, and has shown nothing but incompetence from the writers. Anyone can write a protagonist onto a ledge, miracling them down again is the price you pay. Cheats! Looking at Gatiss's credentials based on cooky spooky comedy, and seeing now that he has nowhere further to go with these characters except up in flames, he should do himself and everybody else a favor and stop. He makes fiction for teens and his ideas are restricted by his life's work. Just as he could not convincingly resurrect Sherlock in series three he has already, with a sad admission coped out of his promise at the end of the same season to resurrect his over-camp version of Moriarty. Very obviously to all that the writers had not the first clue how to do either and whats worse weren't going to try. Don't believe the ratings..blind fan support and watching in disbelief will be shown for what they are when the dust settles or in this case the ash. A good start achieves little that a bad ending won't blot out.
