Thoroughly lacklustre 2nd half of the season topped of by a piss poor finale

A very poor finale - but I have to say, second half to the season was a lot better than the first.

I disagree, the 'Kitty' mid season arc was far the most interesting thing to happen this season.
Like you I felt the second half of the series was lacklustre once Kitty had gone. It felt like we were back in series one, not the end of the third series. Kitty was all but forgotten, Watson was back in the Brownstone and we were simply watching a police procedural week after week. And the finale was truly pathetic. I guess Holmes ending up back on drugs was a predictable storyline but I'm still disappointed they went down that route. It's going to make season four difficult viewing whether he continues on taking the drugs or goes back into rehab. I'm not sure I'll be tuning in avidly. |

I liked Kitty a lot. I wasn't sure at first how it would affect the dynamic but by the time Kitty left I felt she'd become an integral part of the show and missed her presence.

Something I noticed; during the second half of the season, the "reveals" felt very bizarre. Y'know, like when Poirot reveals to everyone he reasons/guilty party etc. Except on this show the reveal is split up between four characters...each with their own following sentence fragments. Some seem very odd, almost like the characters would have to have been rehearsing it beforehand in-universe. I get WHY they set it up like this (to give the actual coppers actual lines), it just seemed poor and well...bizarre. Surely someone else noticed this? |

Pleased it's coming back. It's always been more police procedural but I like the brownstone! Like JLM and Lucy Lui too of course!
