Still not sure what to make of this series so far. It's so tongue in cheek that it's hard what to make of it all.. Is it a homage? A parody? Or is it really just an trendy, wise cracking insult to the memory of Conan Doyle's original creation ? Certainly there is panache in the performances and directorial Flair, as well as a fair share of memorable lines. But what's the point, exactly? For example, if a ghost story is creepy enough to ignite the imagination, then why ruin it with lame humour and pretentious waffle? It's like a polished new version of Peter Cooks and Dudleys Moore's dreadful Holmes movie.. Plus how can we possibly find a story suspenseful when the whole plot is taking place in someone's head? This mind palace stuff is becoming a terrible bore, too. No doubt I'll be called a purist by some. But why bother with this hyped- up hokum when you can enjoy the original stories by a genuine master storyteller?

I loved the first and second series of Sherlock, they were refreshing, vibrant and atmospheric, albeit a little raw. The third series seemed to lose it's way a little, and "The Abominable Bride"continues this trend. The script doesn't give us a clever Sherlock. I want a Sherlock that is full of clever observations, quick wittedness and genius-level edginess - the first two seasons did this well. However, since the third season, Sherlock seems intent on trying to be funny to satisfy the hardcode fans - resulting in moments that take you out of the story and make it feel like an artificial self-aggrandising theatre experience. And instead of a fiendishly clever Sherlock, we get a man who states the blindingly obvious, and very rarely observes anything truly interesting. To do Sherlock any intellectual justice requires clever scriptwriting, and this is anything but that. Too often, the story and plot twists are explained to the viewer as if to think them an idiot. And Moffat and Gatiss (the scriptwriters) often throw in over-complicated verbosity in an attempt to cover up for the fact the script lacks real substance, and most of all heart and soul. It feels empty and contrived. By all means, watch this episode if you're a Sherlock fan, it will give you some enjoyment. But it will also give you the feeling that you are waiting for something good and clever to happen, a feeling that is never satisfied.

Tarmac,central heating,electric light in the Victorian age. Good cast but disjointed story definitely a case of the emperors new clothes here. My first review and that angry at an evening wasted i was compelled to respond. This was dire A big BBC Christmas build up turned into a wooden ,hurried and cheap looking production.Who WAS the director that thought it was a good idea filming a corridor scene with a central heating radiator and thermostat in view. At one point Holmes and Watson are waiting for the lights to go out at mansion window only for the instant turn of that electric switch will convey not the gas ones that were used and shown in the program some Holmes like attention to detail would have been nice.if i did my job as good as this i would get the sack. As for the klu-klux clan suffragette thread i despair.My be the womens rights movement inspired the white supremacists . overall it is 90 Min's i am not getting back.Maybe i was in a drug induced stupor all along and new years day has still to happen .If its good enough for Holmes. As for the wimpy Moriarty (or Short arse as Holmes calls him)I hope he Gets passed on the Luther for a good slap as the advert for new show suggests.

*SPOILER ALERT* I really enjoyed the early Holmes series but this presentation was for me an unmitigated disaster. The cast worked hard enough but I am surprised that Moffat and Co. decided to take Freddie Kruger to Disneyland for a campy farcical romp. Set ostensibly in two time periods Sherlock's mystically brilliant but ridiculously bloated pudding of a brother says 'a virus in the data' whilst we are in Victorian London during Sherlock's drug-induced mental time travel trip. Notwithstanding my Kruger in Disneyland comment this was more a mixture of a Brian Rix farce and a poor Dr. Who episode (or Harry Potter on an LSD trip) than a serious attempt to continue the series in its original entertaining and thoroughly engaging format. Bluntly, if the future episodes follow this Gothic nonsensical format it's a series I will not be watching in the future. I am however clinging to the hope that this episode was presented as a purposely whacky new years piece of 'entertainment' for minds that were already in something of an alcohol induced debilitated state. Time will tell. I give it 3 stars because the inland navigators (or navvys - i.e. actors) did their jobs well but unfortunately the railroad tracks were laid (courtesy of the writers) in entirely the wrong direction and ended up in the middle of nowhere. Very forgettable.

The cast are excellent, if a wee bit hammy at times. However the story is tripe, far too may "look at us being clever" moments with script, dialogue, visuals. The characters come across as annoying and condescending to a massive degree even SHERLOCK is far far too obnoxious.. It was great to see Moriarty back .. so just bring him back, this is not Conan Doyle's Sherlock so just bring him back. The story just does not hang together either in the present or in the past, even given the denouement of what is happening to Holmes. The suffragette link is pompous and patronising and adds nothing to the plot at all. Moffat and Gatiss both suffer from this need to show how brilliant they are, and often they are brilliant, by over complicating things to an absurd level and this is a perfect example. The old school report was OK must do better or here must do much better.

Very different from the episodes that precede it but still very enjoyable and well worth watching. I was looking forward to this episode for a full year and I was not disappointed. Now only another year plus until the 4th season...if I overdose now I should be able to sleep until then. Don't go into this expecting to be blown away. The cinematic intensity of the 9 episodes its elder is not present. The depth and complexity of the plot are less structured. However, even though it's not quite up to par with Sherlock episodes of days past, it is still superior to the majority of television programs and I would say enjoyable enough to watch more than once.

I can't believe that i'm talking about sherlock after two years , and here we are ! This episode is really astonishing , thrilling , mystic , dramatic and comedy as we knew Sherlock ! This is the episode which Sherlock's fans really want , and when i say fans , i mean the series fans plus Conan Doyle's novel fans ! Yeah , i'm really happy that i saw scenes that i wanted to see , i always built up those scenes in my brain , and now ! we got them ,, Finally, this episode is full of mind-blowing scenes and it shows us the meaning of some other episodes from the past , also this episode is asking us a lot of questions that i hope they answer . AMAZIIIIIIING ! oh now we can cry , we are gonna wait to 2017 :(

Sherlock the series has been brilliant so far. The two leads have been outstanding and the supporting cast has been extraordinarily good. This New Year special was too clever for it's own good and was nothing more than typical Moffat smoke and mirrors mess that went nowhere to end up somewhere that did not matter and state the obvious. We wondered why we were in Victorian times investigating the mystery of how the Bride could rise from the dead after shooting herself through the head. And the answer was Sherlock who is obviously half Vulcan had retreated into the past in his mind to solve the mystery as to how Moriarty had returned. How could he still be alive and the answer was simple. He had fired another invisible gun at the floor whilst holding a gun to his head and a coven of hooded women had replaced his 'body' with that of a dead lookalike. All as Sherlock stood there and watched. But of course that could not have happened so what was the point of Sherlock solving a period mystery that had nothing to do with his modern one? After solving the Bride mystery and digging up her modern grave Sherlock had an imaginary conversation with Moriarty at the famous Falls and then Watson, who had appeared out of nowhere, pushed him to his 'death'. There were elements of the period story that were good but as soon as it was revealed why we were there all that was forgotten. In the end Sherlock stated that Moriarty was indeed dead but he now knew what his next move was. As with Dr Who a pointless far too clever story that did not work and will hopefully be forgotten soon enough when the new series begins. Like Elementary I really enjoy Sherlock. Both series are smart and refreshingly original whilst using elements of the Conan Doyle stories. The whole point of Sherlock is it's a 21st century twist on the tales. The 19th century jaunt did not work at all and was both awful and pointless. Even though it began well and was superbly acted it soon nose dived into a well of mind boggling crap, which was not as clever as it thought, that hopefully we will not ever see again.
