Does Moriarty know something Sherlock doesn't? Does Moriarty know how the woman did it? Did Sherlock and Moriarty both fake their own deaths, and Sherlock was simply too slow to see Moriarty's trick? Sherlock faked his own death on that same day with The Fall.
Sherlock knows Moriarty can't do that, but. Then Moriarty shot himself in the head, and now apparently rose from the grave. He knows that's impossible, but he doesn't have an answer for how she did it. In the back of his mind, Sherlock was aware of one unsolved case where a woman shot herself in the head and conclusively died (she got an autopsy and everything), and yet she conclusively rose from the grave to kill someone (personally ID'd by her husband, with information only she would know), before returning to her grave (100% dead), and popping up occasionally to kill others (which could be dismissed as copycat crimes, if only the original crime didn't defy the laws of nature). I feel like they could go the brother angle for Moriarty, if he "survived", but for a lot of the less book-savvy viewers it might feel really cheap, and it sort of would be. Then again we got Joker-esque multiple choice with how Sherlock faked his death (although I think one was meant to THE reason) so you never know. I quite liked the suffragette stuff and randomly guessed at the start that I wonder if it was going to be a mind palace thing with Sherlock really trying to explain how Moriarty could have faked his death, only to come to the conclusion there's no way he could since he doesn't believe in the supernatural. I liked the episode up until the last.10-15. Like the idea that Moriarty is supposedly dead and although logically I'd say yes it's just damnit Moffat! It’s elementary.I think I'm my own worst enemy in enjoying this because Moffat loves to play the con game so much I have no idea when to take him seriously, and I don't really find that constant state of flux any fun or entertaining as a viewer. And that is exactly what we want Sherlock Holmes to do. This new Sherlock Holmes lives to solve crimes and mysteries. Equally impressive and unlikeable, his Sherlock exhibits an almost total disregard for authority, family or friends. Cumberbatch’s performance has rightly been heaped with praise. Taking many of the classic storylines of the Victorian set novels but skilfully weaving a story arc that is both emotional and enthralling, the now 21st century saga effortlessly hitting the moments that Sherlock Holmes aficionados will expect while remaining a thrilling and evocative piece of television for the uninitiated.Ĭritically acclaimed, the show has won three BAFTAS, nine Prime Time Emmys and garnered a Golden Globe nomination for Cumberbatch for Best Actor in a Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television amongst numerous other nominations and awards. Hudson Spectre star Andrew Scott as Holmes’s arch nemesis Moriaty Gatiss plays the infamous sleuth’s brother Mycroft Rupert Graves (The White Queen) plays Scotland Yard’s finest Detective Inspector Lestrade and Lars Mikkelsen plays "the Napoleon of Blackmail" Charles Magnussen.
The partners in fighting crime are ably supported by Una Stubbs as their Baker Street residence housekeeper Mrs. The stellar Sherlock cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch (Marvel’s Doctor Strange and an Oscar nominee for The Imitation Game) as the fiercely intelligent but equally arrogant Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman (The Office, Fargo, Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy) as Holmes’s often exasperated side-kick Doctor John Watson. Until the special episode “The Abominable Bride” that is. Anyone expecting a smoking pipe and a deerstalker will be left wanting. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the men behind Doctor Who and The League Of Gentlemen, Sherlock plays with expectations and gives them a delightfully knowing modern spin. The classic tomes in question are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective stories. A modern masterpiece that takes a character from classic literature and playfully confounds audience expectations while staying true to the much-revered source material.
Quite simply, Sherlock is one of the greatest shows of our time.
