Great show! First 3 seasons are the best, the special was good (but not great), and season 4 was just ok. People are being very negative towards the 4th season but I still think it was good. The show does need to get back to its roots and return to the normal cases because the personal stories are just getting annoying. I do wish they did more with Moriarty in the 4th season because it didn't really pay off. However the second episode of the 4th season was probably one of my favorite episodes of Sherlock along with A Scandal in Belgravia (not as good, but close!). This is still a brilliant show, and one of the most intelligently written and acted shows out there! :)

My favorite show and by far the best written one I've ever seen. From the subtle was in which they incorporate certain villains long before you ever see them on screen to how they respect the original books. The first episode is even called A Study in Pink which parallels the first book which was named A Study in Scarlet. The acting is amazing too! Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman working together is always a joy to behold and the man who plays Moriarty is easily one of the best actors in the world! This is a show worth watching and you won't regret it

It is a fabulous show and our whole Family fell in love with the humorous​ way Sherlock would handle people. His knack for solving murders and brain's capacity to store knowledge is remarkable! Loved all the characters..... Will not give anything away... But a definite 5star show my only complaint is it should never had ended. Hoping they bring these actors back on to continue the series. Gives us something to look forward to each week if possible.😀😀
