Sherlock, Series 3

Sooooo good

Just like the character portrayed, the show it’s self is genius. They couldn’t have picked better actors to play Holmes and Watson. It brings stories that have been around for ages into modern times with ease. SHERLOCK IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I only purchased the episodes, however and iTunes says that to purchase the last bit (the behind the scenes stuff) I still owe $8.02. I think per episode, it was $6.99… can’t remember though. I’ve now watched all three seasons twice and I would love it if there was a continuation. Disappointing that such a brilliant show hasn’t been continued with any regularity!! I NEED MORE!!

The second episode "The Sign of Three" is without a doubt the finest 86 minutes of television I have ever seen in my life.

3.5 stars. There's no doubting this is just about the smartest and classiest series on tv recently. But I agree with others that I did detect a definite writer fatigue in this third year, especially episodes 2 and 3. They're just not up to the extraordinarily high standards of the first 2 seasons. The problem is that instead of reworking the Conan Doyle template as they did at first, here they're winging it on their own, and it's rather like fan fiction. Episode 2 is loose and baggy and way too cutesy, and episode 3 is weirdly unconvincing and forced. Let's hope that for season 4 they go back to the winning formula, because shows this good don't come along very often.

Enough said.

Some people are hating on this, but why? This is an awesome series ALL the way through. From beginning to end I was extremely pleased and excited! Sherlock a character (and actor, Benedict Cumberbatch) are amazing! Great acting and just everything is amazing. And the episodes/series are totally worth the money! If you want to complain about it go look inline to watch it for free!

Title says it all. Loved the shows so much! Watched them straight through on Netflix. Would live to buy them but S3 was just 3 ep and was nothing comparable to the storyline in 1&2! No detective work or mystery fun. I kept waiting for it but it never came. I wish they would continue on to S3 to enrich and make it feel complete. Need more Sherlock! Please. But 12 eps not 3 or 6 you know what I mean? Please lower the price for S3. Way too much.

Compared to other tv shows, I'd give this 3 stars, but compared to the brilliance of prior seasons only a 1 or 2. They lost the thread of what makes the show so good and it ended up being a mess that never found it's center. Then it went completely off the rails with the "Mary" subplot. Rewatching S1 and S2 to recapture the love.

The second episode of this series was so impressive to me. I don’t know if I will ever be that impressed by a tv show ever again. A sad tear falls from my eye.

I fell in love with the genius mastermind Sherlock Holmes and Watson became my older brother.
