I normally lurk and rarely post but I need a valve to let of steam.
Series One was fascinating. Series Two was a little plodding and ultimately unsatisfying. Series Three has been complete drivel.
Having self congratulatingly killed off Holmes and then brought him back to life again, episode one rips off the plot from 'V from Vendetta' complete the same police detective. Episode two manages to get through 90 minutes without any real detective work, and then this soporific nonsense.
The trouble with Sherlock is that it thinks it's clever and spends every waking moment telling you it is, including when it isn't on. Do you remember when Sherlock Holmes actually solved crimes rather then being the cause of them?
And then the most obvious plot twist right at the end, because they have nowhere else to go.
I cannot wait for Elementary to come back. Cleverness hidden in plain site, plots that rattle along, thoughtful story arcs. And detective work.
