The Six Thatchers

I am sure this episode isn't like anyone was expecting, it's not really this important, We don't really care about Mary Morstan or here future, we only care about Sherlock Vs. Moriarty.

That doesn't mean that the episode was bad but it should have been in the previous season or something not in this season "the final". we were expecting an epic start for the name of "Sherlock Holmes" final show.

Can't really imagine why they wasted one of only 3 episodes in this thing and what make them relying on only 2 episode to end this epic war. I can only hope the just don't disappoint us.

I will give it 8/10. Because again it's not a bad episode but it's not the time really.

The episode still has great witty dialogue and humorous. It is a little bit of a mess but still awesome as always. I think a lot of people miss the point of watching this show the acting is outstanding every time and it's far better than most shows out there.

I feel like the writers of Sherlock aren't even trying anymore. The "ah-hah" moments are completely phoned in every single time, the solutions to the mysteries are so far-fetched that you can easily tell that the writers were thinking "ok, what sounds ridiculous?"

It doesn't even feel clever anymore. It's the same old formulaic structure that is so open-ended that any character could be killed off and brought back at any moment.

Steven Moffat is doing the same thing to Sherlock that he's doing to Doctor Who. He's somehow able to create mediocre shows with huge fan bases who are willfully oblivious to how awful the shows actually are. Granted, I watch both of them, but now they're both guilty pleasures.

The Six Napoleans has to be one of my favourite stories from Conan Doyle, so I was intrigued to see what work would be done for The Six Thatchers. The result was something quite wonderful, you can truly see that plenty of time and effort was put into every detail, from the script, to the casting, to the shock ending. Loaded with twists and turns, this has to be one of the best episodes of Sherlock to date, if this one is anything to go by then the series is going to be wonderful.

They played an absolute blinder with Marcia Warren, such a talented actress I always associate with humour and lighter roles, the ending she helped create was spectacular. Best episode I thought for Amanda Abbington, given a big story, to which she put an amazing performance into.

It will be interesting to see how the dynamic between Holmes and Watson develops....

Thrilling 9/10

Finally - the fourth all-too-short season of "Sherlock" begins. And it's a fitting opening.

As Sherlock waits for Moriarity to strike, even after death, he sits at home following case after case and texting the solutions, even though no one asked him.

Lestrade (Rupert Graves), however, brings him one case and begs him to solve it. For Sherlock, it's an easy solve - the death of a Cabinet Minister's son - but it leads to a more perplexing case. Someone is going around breaking busts of Margaret Thatcher. Sherlock is ready to swear that it has to be Moriarity up to something. But it actually has to do with someone much closer to home - new mother Mary Watson.

This is a great episode, filled with humor, excitement, suspense, and raw emotion. Beautifully crafted and well acted by all involved.

As for Benedict Cumberbatch playing Sherlock, what a perfect mating of actor and role. After ten years of small parts in movies, and leads in TV miniseries - playing Van Gogh, Stephen Hawking, and fictional characters - he hit it big with Sherlock. It was as if lightning had struck. It's made him a huge star. Hopefully not too big so we can get another season out of him.
