    1st episode: 5/10, 2nd: 8/10, 3rd: 3/10. After solving the initial crime reported, 1st episode became too action-oriented, borderline James Bond. 2nd was more like the classic first 2 seasons and had some interesting twists, villain was well casted. 3rd was way too hard to believe, borderline supernatural and horror, logistically a lot of it seems impossible no matter how smart the villain1st episode: 5/10, 2nd: 8/10, 3rd: 3/10.

It seems like they tried to go too big on the shock surprise and do something different. SPOILER: Also, really hated the Moriarty character and casting in this series. The actor and character always came off like a dim-witted but cocky psychopathic yuppie banker bro given a bunch of cheesy one-liners by the writers. The original character was supposed to be a clever, older professor. Filling the finale with him saying a bunch of cheesy lines just made it even worse.… Expand

    Well polished and executed, great acting. The plot however is disappointing - fragmented, hectic and plainly obvious. Not even a tiny step towards uncovering the intrigue of Moriarty return story line from previous season.

    Even with the amazing cinematography and brilliant direction, the creators could not deter the show falling into a disappointing territory. The new season is disjointed, fragmented and convoluted, and often funny but it does not lead to anything, and even the relationship between Sherlock and John Watson lacks any kind of charm and it doesn't deliver on the grounds we all have been waiting for.

Sherlock season 4 comples a short list of enjoyable moments intwined with exposition followed by more exposition making each sequence feel somwhat contrived and over-eloborate. To even the most casusal fans of the series, audiences cannot lie about the evident drop in quality since the end of season 2 where originality all but dried up and fan service was all but left to fill the void, with Moffat and Gatiss consuming member berry after member berry to relive some of the glory of the first 2 seasons "Ooh, member Irene Adler?" "Ooh i member!".

    From even before the show had begun, people were famaliar with Sherlock Holmes, the clever detective in the funny hat, ever accompanied by his loyal physician, Dr John Watson and it was within the first few moments of watching Holmes for the first time that we truely got a measure of how intelligent he was in his ability to accurately observe what others simply see. However in season four any audience members will doubt what Sherlock can actually see as in between season 3 and 4 Sherlock has appartently developed a God complex that not only grants him the ability to solve cases with no other viable evidence then his mind palace but to also read the future.

    The main complement however that i can give this season is its behind the scenes production with acting talent and set value being of the gold standard, even if the story and hideous CGI hinder the preformances and scenery that have been so carefully crafted to retain the look from the first series of Sherlock in 2010.    … Expand

    Шерлок 4 сезон- вся проблема сезона это халтурное отношение создателей и ненужная сюжетная линия с сестрой Шерлока. Но в этом сезоне более живые диалоги и за отношением брата и сестры интересно наблюдать. Ляпов и сюжетных дыр стало в 2 раза больше, чем во всех сезонах до этого. К сожалению создатели слишком торопились с созданием 4 сезона Шерлока.

    Apesar de não ser ruim, fica claro que esta temporada chegou ao ponto mais baixo da série, os casos e mistérios parecem ser apenas um background para os acontecimentos. As relações ficaram muito em foco, quando não é o que queremos ver de fato.

    Yeah, well, uh, I still love the acting, but I find this season to be weaker than the previous. Several writing decisions felt odd to me and I wasn't as engaged as I was during the first two seasons. I wouldn't introduce the show to anyone with this season. Overall though I think some of you might still like it.

    Unfortunately, the season four premiere has revealed that Sherlock’s most promising and divisive element in the wake of the season three finale--the evolving three-way relationship between Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch), John Watson (Martin Freeman), and John’s mysterious wife, Mary (Amanda Abbington)--is little more than a giant distraction, a red herring for ... whatever the show has up its sleeve next.

    Helping move things along at a nice pace is Mark Gatiss’ script, which is quite strong. Though not his best for the series, he clearly relishes taking the show into a more serious direction, as well as providing lots of customary laughs in the episode’s first half.

    Watching "Sherlock" is like dropping in on old friends who are as smart and sarcastic as ever but don’t seem to have as much joy in their lives anymore.
