It wasn't bad, but it was like an album track that didn't belong on a 3-track EP.

IMO - 1st showed great potential, 2nd was a let down but watchable and 3rd was a bit rubbish. Ending was poor show. But don't take my opinion - I'm near to completion working my way through 12 series of Poirot box set and loving most of it.

All three were terrific. I immediately wished that Moffat would do a full series of this rather than Dr Who.

Slight nagging irritation that they insist getting black cabs everywhere despite living directly above a minicab firm. Despite money worries suspect background trust fund.

OK so the new one for series 2, SPOILERS OMG SPOILERS ahead:
So is Moff like "I'm being clever, details be damned" or is there more to Mycroft saying that he was extra careful examining her corpse despite it being, yanno, not her corpse?
― alpaca althusser (Leee), Monday, 2 January 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
consider the significance of mycroft's next line, directly after saying he was thorough, this time.

the scene between sherlock and mycroft in the morgue after identifying her body (the first time) was one of the all-time great holiday TV moments. for me.

Loved this, although thoroughly dismayed at some of my favourite stories (Greek Interpreter, Naval Treaty, Speckled Band) being discarded as in-jokes therefore won't be made.

that is a bit better than the fake sherlock one, at least
this was really pretty good, i thought. ever-increasing bait-and-switch-and-switch-and-switch-and-switch. it seems strange to me that there are british television shows where things happen every minute or two, rather than one or two things happening in an episode, at depth.
― thomp, Monday, 2 January 2012 22:06 (twelve years ago) link
so so so so so much fun. sacrificing an evening's essential study was totally worth it.

Really enjoyed this, better than last year's and hilarious throughout. The beheading reveal was lame though.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 12:07 (twelve years ago) link
Was the beheading reveal bit an actual memory or a Sherlock fantasy moment?
― Daisy Click Clack, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 12:10 (twelve years ago) link
i even liked that. that kind of setup - we're in That Middle East, there are sinister looking arabic types with swords, possibly muezzin wailing - is a horrible televisual cliché and tends to be telegraphing the idea that dark, serious things are happening; for two seconds i thought they actually were going to go there (which would have been aaaaaaaawful) and then it turns out to be for the sake of a gag, so well done them
xpost i had that thought but if it's a fantasy he's not established as having any other reason to know she was/n't beheaded, so
― thomp, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 12:13 (twelve years ago) link
also it sets up that sherlock definitely knows mycroft is enlisting john to lie to him. (that stuff in this episode that sort of shifts into the idea that sherlock's family/friends are in the position of dealing with a mentally ill person is really smart, i think. -- in terms of convincingly modernizing the given material of the original without rewriting it.)
― thomp, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 12:17 (twelve years ago) link
also part of why i like this -- the scene where they're waiting in buckingham palace really brought this home -- is that cumberbatch and freeman are sort of playing peter cook and dudley moore, too
― thomp, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 12:18 (twelve years ago) link
I enjoyed it, but found all the "look at me, I'm writing a blog!/ hey guys just Tweet me @sherlockholmes" stuff to be a bit overdone. I think Cumberbatch is a bit of a ham too. Freeman and Gatiss are both good, though.

he might be a good actor in another situation but he was just so obviously at sea, and overcompensating by doing the whackadoo sub-joker loud-quiet madman schtick we've all seen 10 million times
i totally plant to watch, though
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 13:39 (twelve years ago) link
uh, plan
If it makes you feel any better he is hardly in the episode after those first two minutes.
