Dazed, if you are out there - I've seen them all now.


There was a bit in which I enjoyed myself, series 1 episode 3, the follow-up in the first of series 2 and the last one of series 2.

3 out of...13 though...that's some pretty low standards, and I got all the canon in-jokes and enjoy all the actors.

I guess I only enjoyed the ones were Jim Moriarty was alive and taking an active personal role in dealing with Sherlock Holmes.

A friend told me it would get me in the mood for Christmas and it has only left me more miserly.

Those 3 good episodes though were exceptionally good, that's where it got its kudos from I guess.

I'm glad they killed it, it went right off kilter for most of its run but had the heart of it somewhere in there.

I just finished the series. It was wonderful in many respects and I enjoyed it but they really went off the rails beginning with the Mary Watson, Super Assassin storyline. The Final Problem so lacked any connection to reality that I half expected an “It was all a dream” ending.

There was some fun in every episode and they nailed the bromance between Watson and Holmes. I think the Mary storyline could have been adapted some more to make it less Mary Sue and more person desperate to hide from her past.

The Victorian episode had some fun in it, still needed another rewrite in my opinion though Jack.

All in all it's certainly worth a watch if someone's completely new to the stories of Sherlock Holmes but not the best examples of how it can be done throughout every episode.

Hey, that might have been an improvement!!!
