Except the scene where John tries to have a conversation with a person just with hand gestures, and fails miserably (“I am glad you liked my potato”). Also The Abominable Bride pales in comparison to other episodes when it comes to memorable moments. Okay! So why is it the least good episode Sherlock had to offer! Perhaps the ‘back to old school’ approach did not work, at least not for me. Now I am going to rank each episode based on how good or bad it is. The show had four seasons consisting of total 13 episodes (including a standalone episode).
So let’s have look at what the show had to offer and what made it so great that it’s now being considered a cult! This could also be the last season ever due to the hectic schedule of the two leading actors.
The series has just ended its fourth season. The witty high functioning sociopath just outshines all. It is redundant to make a comparison here but all the other competitors somehow look mundane in front of this one. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are officially my most favourite Sherlock Holmes and John Watson on screen representation and this is the best one can get from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s works, well in my opinion, ever.
The show instantly became a TV phenomenon and grew a huge fan base around the globe. The acting, dialogues, direction everything was near perfect (if not perfect!).
The witty-clever show knew exactly where to deliver the punches. The different approach paid off very well. So I was curious to know what the hype was all about. We are talking about a Sherlock Holmes who owns a website. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss this show was the 21 st century version of the legendary detective. It was year 2010 when I first came across the show. Then why I am particularly about Sherlock! What makes it peculiar then the others! Let’s see! Also there are large numbers of other films, shows as I said this character is one of the most popular to be played onscreen.Īll the above mentioned TV shows and films are acclaimed in their own game. Starrer Sherlock Holmes films, an American version of Sherlock ‘Elementary’ and a medical version ‘House’ and the Benedict Cumberbatch – Martin Freeman Starrer ‘Sherlock’ I am talking here about. It is also the most popular character to be played across TV and films.
The iconic detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has to be the most popular one in the world. I have been a huge fan myself since I was a teen. Everyone in their life must have heard about Sherlock Holmes even for once. If you haven’t caught up with the show, I recommend you a binge watch and then come back. Attention: This article contains heavy spoilers for Benedict Cumberbatch starrer SHERLOCK (season 1, season 2, season 3, The Abominable Bride, and season 4) that airs on BBC.
