Sherlock: The Six Thatchers (2. I've given up on Sherlock. There's so much flash and BS that it's hard to even understand the stories anymore. I used to watch it for Martin Freeman, but it's become so hyperactive and unpleasant to watch that it hardly matters.
On the surface level, an over- the- top, discombobulated splatter.. Three stars for now, and if it goes where logic dictates it's going, will easily be 5.
I'm eager to see where the story goes, but The Six Thatchers is an unfortunate misfire from a team that brought us such brilliantly written and performed episodes. Overly dramatic, occasionally uninspired and disengaging, and not very Sherlock- ian, the latest installment lacks the type of pizzaz and real smarts that made the series so compelling. The highly anticipated return of BBC's Sherlock sets up a darker tone for the remaining episodes, but I can't shake the disappointment of 'The Six Thatchers'. It focuses on a storyline that's far less interesting than the one I felt we were promised through marketing. Hopefully things will really get going in the second episode. Unfortunately, there's also a bad news. This is the first time I feel disappointed with one of the Sherlock's episode.
THE SIX THATCHERS lacks of mysteries, thrills, and surprises. I think THE SIX THATCHERS is one of the weakest episode in the series, if it's not the only one. There's nothing wrong with the characterization. Although, sometimes it feels overdramatic.. Yes it's ok, a bit all over the place but it would do. Could you maybe stop milking this cow and go set some other cool classical story in a modern world? You know what people REALLY liked about Season 3?
I thought the six Thatchers would turn out to be about the black Borgia pearl. Added: January 02, 2017; 1/1/17. Sherlock Season 4 Episode 1.
Oh, nevermind the fact that the finale squeezed every drop of potential payoff out of her, let's just dig her up, make the episode's mystery a secondary aspect at best, and kill her off in a way that will cast a pall over the rest of the season! I'm sure the idiots who waited 3 years for this shit won't mind we just wasted a third of a season on this. I should really stop hate- watching things when there are so many good movies to watch.
And Freeman should really start working more on his acting chops.
