Even after a gap of two long years, he hasn’t lost touch with his high-functioning sociopathic side and makes sure that for generations to come, no one will ever be able to play Sherlock Holmes better than him, in any alternate universe (Victorian, modern or hell even in space age). Are Sherlock and John able to unmask the criminal or are there really supernatural forces at play?īenedict Cumberbatch has once again proven to us that he is worth all the attention the world keeps throwing at him. If this wasn’t weird enough, more such killings start happening and Sherlock is trying hard to grapple at threads, which are rare to find, until one day a distressed woman comes asking for his help and they finally have a lead. A woman blows her brains out in full public view but returns from the dead (much like Moriarty eh?) the next day to kill her husband. This time, Sherlock is faced with a mystery that seems impossible to solve. Watson still writes stories of Sherlock’s adventures, only in a magazine instead of a blog. Mrs Hudson, Lestrade, Mary and even Anderson are the same but you can figure out what’s new about Molly and Mycroft yourself (revealing more would be spoiling it). Watson still writes stories of their adventures not on a blog but a magazine. Sherlock now smokes a pipe but still beats dead bodies in mortuaries with riding crops. While a lot is different, a lot remains the same. We then switch to an ‘alternative time’ in 1895 where we see John and Sherlock meet for the first time, again. Read | Sherlock new trailer: Benedict Cumberbatch is up against a ghost Now, that was a shock because Moriarty shot himself in the head and clearly died in front of our and Sherlock’s eyes. We are first given a quick recap of all that has happened so far since season one to how Moriarty seemed to have returned by the end of season 3. To break it down, we have our not-so-friendly neighbourhood detective, the great Sherlock Holmes, not in the familiar, modern London but during the reign of Queen Victoria, this time. It was rather too complex (if not the most) an episode than we are accustomed to watch in the series. Personally, we didn’t spot any foul business on the part of writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. The trailers had already prepared us for some of it but a great deal was left as a surprise - a surprise that many have taken well while some are beating their chests, saying they have been cheated. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman travel all the way back to Victorian era for the latest Sherlock special. The special Sherlock episode, The Abominable Bride, where Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reprise their roles as Sherlock and Watson, was crisp, cunning, mighty confusing and enough to leave you with a concussion. It was the first day of 2016 and BBC gave us this treat to celebrate the New Year. What a great start for television this year.
