How I envy Molly - a snog with Sherlock Mmmmm

[Khandro]

What a disappointment, the scriptwriters have turned him into a parody of himself with added, out of character, cynicism and downright cruelty.
To re-appear as a waiter with a mascara moustache at the table of your dearest friend in the middle of a restaurant, who has been mourning your death for two years, and later to pretend you were both about to die in an underground explosion, tell him you couldn't disarm the device, and wait for the last seconds to do so, has nothing to do with the former Sherlock, who was eccentric, but not cruel. All this, plus manic editing, (hardly any take being on screen for more than 3 seconds), very annoying, and I won't bother watching the next episodes, another BBC balls-up!

brilliant brilliant

ye he is cruel, think how he speaks to people, no thought at all for their feelings, and that includes John, and poor Molly, who has now hooked up with a Sherlock lookalike, a class apart.

Yes, I thought I spotted that it was his real parents playing the part of Mr and Mrs Holmes, but wasn't sure. Couldn't find any press about it though. Excellent viewing, (but a little bit "un-Sherlock like" to be so cruel to John.)

Loved it!

I couldn't make head nor tail of the previous programmes so thought I would give it a go again. Just can't understand what all the fuss is about - couldn't understand this one either. I agree with Khandro. I could perhaps accept it if the writers hadn't used the name Sherlock and started a completely fresh series, but last night's programme was strange, to say the least.

Some people can't cope with any TV that needs an IQ in double figures.

[hellywelly4]

Well gingebee mine is in the top 2% of the country, so that argument doesn't follow.

[gingejbee]

Well hellwell, that wasn't an argument , it was a statement of personal
opinion and wasn't aimed at you primarily...but at TV viewers in general.

[ferlew]

I enjoyed it, but I will watch it again, just to clarify one or two bits I missed because of having to tend to dogs/cat/hubby, who all seem to hate me sitting down to watch something on my own ;)

[carolegif]

I like Elementary on Living. They are repeating the first series each night at the moment. Lucy Liu is Watson.

[Old_Geezer]

Was sleepy, had issues keeping my eyes open whilst it was on. Did they finally come up with a solution to Sherlock's apparent demise ? Seems to me they skirted around giving a few dodgy possibilities and then simply got out of having to explain.

If only the BBC could be persuaded to initiate a "Unsuitable for morons" warning, we; - the intellectually challenged, could be aware that it would be useless for us to even attempt to understand such profundity, and remain watching something within our grasp, such as, 'Outrageous Vacation Videos'.

[DTCwordfan]

excellent.......

[snags]

Enjoyed the first two series and was looking forward to this one but it didn't grip me as previously (walked out half way through) and I also found the 'cruel Sherlock' angle irritating: won't be watching any more of this series.

[jim360]

It's not all that dissimilar in some ways, though, from how Sherlock Holmes revealed himself to Watson in the original books. Wears a disguise, then just removes it with no forewarning. What's changed the most is the way Watson reacts, really.

I do think they've made Sherlock crueler than in the books but that's been an issue all the way through the series, really. I figure it's worth overlooking. If one wants a dramatisation of the original Holmes then that's been done already, no? Why not do something different with it?

[mccfluff]

i thought it was ok, wasn't that impressed with it, i think i was expecting more - wormholes and parallel universes....

[Mamyalynne]

I thought it was fabulous and some real cruel but comic moments - John's head butt had me roaring, the timing was superb. Can't wait for the rest.
