First to the actual case we are following for much of the episode. Instead I got to thinking how cool it would be if we actually had a full-fledged spin-off series like this.īut it actually did connect and it did so in such a genius way. In fact, I didn't need for this to connect at all with season 3 or season 4. I just assumed that they wanted to do something fun for the Holiday Special to satisfy fans while we all wait impatiently for season 4 to finally air. It was classic Sherlock Holmes with the actors that we all love! I didn't know why it was happening, but it was and I was enjoying it. A lot of the stuff that was going on was the exact way it is in all the old Sherlock Holmes stories. Well this time the episode was actually set in the late-1800's with our current cast of characters. What I mean is that one of the great things about Sherlock is that it is set in the modern day, yet it has the tone of and feel of any other Sherlock Holmes story. So let's dive in! What I immediately loved about this episode was that it initially appeared to be an episode in an alternate universe. Anywho, watch the episode somehow and then come back and read this review for the episode and let's discuss!įor those reading this paragraph, I'm assuming that you have watched the episode or just don't care about knowing spoilers. I'm guessing that PBS or BBC will have it on one of their websites, but that's just a guess. Or you could probably just find it online somewhere. Otherwise it is re-airing on January 10th I do believe. If you haven't seen this episode yet, it's actually showing in theaters tonight and tomorrow (January 5th and 6th) in certain places if you feel like paying to see it. I want to discuss the details of this episode with other fans of Sherlock that have already seen it, because there's a lot that happened here. I've decided with TV, my target audience is not people waiting to see the show or considering watching the show, it's the people that have already watched. As is the case with all of my TV show reviews now, this review will be a spoiler review. Instantly my plans for that night changed and I once again dove into Sherlock. I knew it was coming, but I totally forgot about its existence until I was reminded on the day of that it was happening. That's why this Christmas Special was quite the pleasant surprise. ![]() ![]() Granted they're all an hour and half long and thus it's like three movies, but still. There's not a new season each year and the seasons that do come only have three episodes each. ![]() When it finally does, you get through it in the blink of an eye and then it's another 2-3 years of waiting. Most of your time is spent waiting for the next season to air. That's the only disadvantage to being a fan of this show. It didn't take me long at all to catch up with the rest of the series and ever since doing that, I've been in a constant state of waiting. Quite the introduction there if you remember what happens in that episode. The finale of that season was actually the first episode that I watched. I first got introduced to the show Sherlock when they were in their second season. ![]() I can't say that I've read or watched everything having to do with Sherlock Holmes, but what I have I've really enjoyed. In fact, the character of Sherlock Holmes has always been a favorite of mine because I've always enjoyed the mystery/detective books, movies, and TV shows and that's exactly what Sherlock Holmes is. Sherlock is easily one of my favorite shows on TV.
