And yet this supposed belter of a case, doesn’t really eventuate to much more than a 2 minute spiel as Sherlock had figured it out almost before they had walked in the door, and was far more curious about a broken bust of Margaret Thatcher. Then finally DI Greg Lesrade ( Rupert Graves) has “a real belter” of a case for our duo’s attention. A brief moment of Sherlock undertaking Godfather duties and babysitting Rosie whilst a wiped out Mary and John kip on the couch, adds a little laugh. We are then treated to a montage of Sherlock solving cases with a quick snarky quip and visual overlays of John’s blog text of the cases and then bam, Mary Watson ( Amanda Abbington) goes into labour and baby Rosamund Mary Watson (aka Rosie) arrives to shake things up a little. Mainly because the threat of Moriarty looms and Sherlock’s answer to the threat …. But courtesy of his brother Mycroft it all gets swept cleanly under the rug courtesy of the British Government. Sherlock Holmes ( Benedict Cumberbatch) shooting Charles Augustus Magnussen ( Lars Mikkelsen) in full view of his partner Dr John Watson ( Martin Freeman), his brother Mycroft Holmes ( Mark Gatiss) and a squad of secret service tactical officers. We kick off Season 4 with ‘The Six Thatchers’ and in what seems like not very Sherlock-style we’re taken to the Department of Backstory with about a 5 minute recap with what happened in ‘His Last Vow’ two years ago. Obviously this review is going to have spoilers, so if you haven’t watched the episode yet, maybe get cracking on that before you read all of this. Thanks to streaming service provider Stan, Australia gets each episode of Season 4 within hours of it airing in the UK.

That said, when it fires, as it frequently does, it's still infinitely superior to anything on TV, thanks largely to the acting talents of the leads. If the series ends here, it feels like it's possibly time, with a lot of the bulk of these stories feeling more like they're pandering to fans rather than a wider audience. More successful is the second which showcases Toby Jones as a baddie Culverton Smith and whose obsequiousness and general slimy demeanour really rattles things along.Īt its heart this year, Sherlock is a more personal story and is really a stronger look at the relationship between Holmes and Watson. Certainly, the opening episode isn't as clever as it thinks it is, and there's an argument to say the third episode really feels a little indulgent (but has some great moments). However, as the first story kicks off, everything's about to change for the duo with the apparent return of Moriarty and a major conspiracy underway.Īs ever, the stories are beautifully shot and put together, but this time around, the three stories are somewhat of a mixed bag as they get tied up in their own knots. Benedict Cumberbatch returns once again as Conan Doyle's detective, in the modern day setting - and with his partner Martin Freeman's Watson married and with kid, Holmes is at a bit of a loose end.
