REVIEW SHERLOCK SEASON 3 SERIES
Those scenes were intense and it made you miss Moriarty in the series as his rival… but of course, we have that cliffhanger in the end. Not only was Moriarty an enemy in real life but his enemy in his mind as well. Seeing Moriarty in Sherlock’s mind palace was a surprise to see. The Sherlock cinematography crew deserves an award for those shots. I never felt so much emotion within those few minutes watching Sherlock analyzing his bullet wound, trying to not go into shock, and trying to come back to life. When Sherlock was shot, those few moments of Sherlock in his mind palace trying to survive was the most shocking and emotion-filled moments for me. We may know the next storyline for the next season based on this quote.Īnother reference? Billy Wiggins, the drug addict that Sherlock finds in the drug house, could be “Wiggins”, the leader of Sherlock’s Baker Street Irregulars or could be in reference to the book’s page boy Billy.

That was a quote from Sherlock Holmes in Doyle’s The Last Bow. Want more Doyle references? Mycroft and John has both stated:

Anyone noticed her initials: A.G.RA? *cough* The Sign of Four: The Agra Treasure. Again, Martin Freeman deserves a BAFTA for his role as John Watson.Įven though Mary was not an assassin in the book, I didn’t mind giving her that storyline. At first, I was angry about Mary being an assassin and essentially lying to John (and to all of us fans), but with Sherlock having John realize what he kind of people he was attracted to – the crazy ones, I was able to forgive Mary (as did John). Poor John is addicted to the wrong kind of people. I have to say I was shocked to see Mary as a killer. Our “Mary” was actually an assassin who is trying to start a new life with John. We find out that Mary isn’t who she say she is. But I really felt that was outside his character.Īnyways, they didn’t just reference that Doyle storyline. I think that is the only thing that disturbed me, but then again, he’d do anything for his friend John. Yeah, Sherlock is a sociopath, but he’s never actually intentionally killed anyone (in the books). Good on you, Sherlock.Īlthough, it’s tough seeing Sherlock as an actual murderer. His mind palace was a surprise, but honestly, that would make it so easy to dispose of him.

The licking of Lady Smallwood’s face didn’t help my impression of him. He’s just so creepy and gives me a gross feeling. Lars Mikkelsen is such a believable character as Magnussen. But they changed a lot of the story, which is good because it needs to be updated to today’s time. The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton! Milverton and Magnussen are practically the same person. To the hardcore Sherlock readers, does this sound familiar to you? Yes. We begin to see Sherlock going undercover during the case – going to the extremes of getting high (which pisses off Molly who runs a drug test on him) to getting engaged to Mary’s best friend Janine (who works for Magnussen). Lady Elizabeth Smallwood has had enough of this villain and hires Sherlock to retrieve the letters. We are immediately introduced to Charles Augustus Magnussen, a newspaper executive, who has dirt on everyone and uses it against them. If it did not, I have to declare you may not have a soul. What a way to end the season! This episode hits ALL the emotional spots in your body.
