Scary Bear Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Wasn't that keen on it. It was watchable until later on in the show, then it just became a bit of a mess. However, I'm still looking forward to the new series and as always, Mycroft stole the show; Mark Gattis is excellent. I hear that the League of Gentlemen is making a return. Looking forward to that too. Edited January 2, 2016 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Got this recorded - the only Social Media friends I have seen expressing an opinion state it's pure crap. Worth a watch, or just delete? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I didn't really enjoy it but I understand how hard it is to make a one off episode and make it exciting without majorly affecting the storyline of the series. It was a bit of a clusterfuck from beginning to end with it trying to be smarter than it needed to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 . It was a bit of a clusterfuck from beginning to end with it trying to be smarter than it needed to be. Thought it was just me, but this sums it up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It was basically inception in a way. I enjoyed it until they left Victorian London and put present day through it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Utter tosh. Too clever by half and not nearly enough sleuthing. The fact it featured the shite, miscast, misplayed Moriarty *again* didn't help matters. The first two seasons of this were fantastic but three of the last four episodes have really shite. Very disappointing :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfinn Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Quite enjoyed it, but it tried to be a bit too clever towards the end. Up until that point I'd quite liked the idea that they were setting a story in the 19th C just for the hell of it, in complete isolation from the rest of the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thought that was probably my favourite of all of them so far. There are so many references to the finer points of the books, for one thing, but I thought it served as a perfect bridge to the next series, with hints and clues along the way. It was also the funniest episode so far. I've also been completely won around by the Moriarty character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've also been completely won around by the Moriarty character. I never understood the hate he drew, I think he has been played superbly throughout by Scott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I enjoyed it but I agree that it was a bit of a mess and it didn't need to jump back to present day. The feminism thing just felt like tacked on pandering too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I never understood the hate he drew, I think he has been played superbly throughout by Scott. He's like Ant (or Dec) doing a shite impression of Graham Norton. Awful. Fucking awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointing :-( Yeah I'm the same. Everything's based around Moriarty it seems, I've never read the books but he's annoying me, seems needless him popping up all the time. I like him just solving the cases, it's superb when done properly, I just finished watching the Special there. Very disappointing. Eta: it reminded me of inception!

Dominique Malonga Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The boy that plays Moriarty in the series is an absolute diddy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Got to admit i'm not a huge fan of Moriarty in the series either. When he's on screen all i see is an actor acting which completely takes me out of the episode. It's almost a good performance by the actor but there's just something slightly off about his performance that is enough to make me not enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Still think baskerville hound episode was the best one....less of Moffattrying to show off how clever his n more of a straightforward sleuthing storyline... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
