Sorry. Thought the first 2 seasons were great - witty, exciting updates of Conan Doyle's classic stories. First signs that the wheels were starting to come off for me was the middle episode of Season 3 - the mystery-solving is pretty much left until the last 20 - 30 minutes, feeling like an afterthought almost. The build-up to Watson's wedding really isn't as compelling/funny as the writers think ... the scene where a drunk Sherlock throws up on a woman's floor on Watson's stag night actually had me questioning WTF I was watching. The standalone, 'set in the original period' Abominable Bride (which I went to the cinema to see) is great fun for the first hour or so ... then came the 'rug-pull' that it's all been happening in the drug-addled Sherlock's mind, he's still on the plane he boarded at the end of Season 3 and it's not 'standalone' at all. I felt cheated, and left the cinema in a bad mood. Season 4 ... think the first one was fairly decent, but I spent most of the second one thinking 'Oh FFS SNAP OUT OF IT Sherlock, you drug-addled tit' and the terrible, disappeared-up-its-own-ass finale was only made bearable by counting the references/homages/rip-offs of other things. So yeah ... I wish it had had a much, much better ending. The chances of those involved ever getting their schedules aligned to make that happen now seems increasingly unlikely, though.
