I don't know how this hasn't come up before, but is anyone else a fan of the BBC's Sherlock? I'm going to see the theatrical release of The Abominable Bride tonight, and I'm really looking forward to is.
I think it's odd that this one is set in the Victorian era, but we'll see... More after tonight.

I'm afraid that the nature of this particular episode is such that I can't really discuss it on here until you've seen it. But yes, I too am a fan. In case he doesn't see this thread, so is Tony, who describes Benedict Cumberbatch as "well fit," "dreamy" and "a total sexpot."*

I'm not touching that last part.

I did see it last night, and I think I'm a bit disappointed. I'm going to spoiler the rest of this.

Basically, the series has become lost in its mind palaces, like we've gotten lost in our spoiler tags. It needs to start focusing on actual, real, physical things. Like, just dial down the airy-fairy cleverness a bit, so that there's enough real-world stuff going on too.

I tend to agree. I thought it was well done, in itself, and I have yet to see Benzedrine Bandersnatch put in a poor performance, but there was basically no plot there.

Agreed. I think the first season is fantastic, the second less so but still really good (especially the first episode), but I was disappointed by the 3rd. I can only hope this coming season is better.

If they have any sense they will get back to what Mike correctly calls the "fantastic" spirit of the first season, and spend less time ****ing about in mind palaces. IMAO.

I might add that I LOVED the 4th season. Did anyone else watch, and get the impression that they're done making them?

Yep, I think that's probably it. For one thing, unless Cumberbatch's star starts to wane, I think he's probably past needing Sherlock.

I did get that impression. I'm afraid I thought the 4th season was rubbish. Jumped the shark so hard it went into orbit. Self-congratulatory drivel. "Look at us, we're the world-famous show Sherlock!" Watson acted out of character.

This about sums it up for me: http://newsthump.com/2017/01/16/missing-persons-case-opened-after-sherlock-writer-vanishes-up-his-own-arse/
