Crazy credits
ANEMOI-these are the letters in red in the end credits-the ANEMOI were the gods of the four winds--Boreas (the north wind), Zephyrus (the west wind), Notus (the south wind), and Eurus (the east wind). It is also an anagram of "I AM ONE".

What the hell just happened? -10 stars !

Utter garbage of a finale. It is as writer never hear of what Sherlock Holmes is about and just invented his own new character. I have not been this mad at the TV in a long time. Honestly just delete this episode it from Netflix. You should feel horrible for making such garbage TV.
