And Mrs Hudson's always there to pick up the pieces.

We meet the great villains who've battled with TV's greatest detective. There's Jim Moriarty, his nemesis. There's Charles Augustus Magnussen, the only man Sherlock Holmes truly hates. And then there's Mycroft Holmes - Sherlock's brother and the last word in sibling rivalry. All of them have had influence over those closest to Sherlock. And all of them cause him grief.

Unfortunately the writing in Seasons 3 & 4 is not as good as the first two seasons...the acting is still good though. In a word, Season 4 is contrived. Instead of Sherlock's brain pitted against a criminal mastermind, the later seasons have gone "Hollywood" action thriller, with emotionally distant characters, and tissue thin plots that paint Sherlock & Watson into a corner that only an Ancient Greek Deux Et Machina can lift them out of...literally. It's time to pass the reigns onto a different writer and director.

Promising setups that ALWAYS fall apart as an anticlimax. Teases of better stories to come that never develop into anything. Crimes are solved magically with off screen evidence never presented to the viewer. Poor and erratic attempts at character development. Watson is literally useless beyond the first episode, except as a damsel-in-distress that repeatedly needs rescuing. Plus, there's it's senseless misogyny (Irene Adler - the only character in the original stores to ever best Holmes), homophobia (Moriarty) and lazily written views on mental health (forgotten sister and Moriarty are so smart they're murderously insane). This series was NEVER good. The unaired pilot was the only good episode.

I bought the "season" before I knew there was only one episode. It was called season 4! So I paid for a whole season but only got a single episode and honestly, it wasn't that good. I was excited the new episodes were finally coming out but now the new episodes are called season 4 and I have to buy that, as this episode is no longer included! WARNING: Don't buy the whole season of anything in advance until you know how many episodes you are going to get.
