Sherlock
(2010)

what is Moffat thinking
Okay but honest talk here though, what the actual bleep was Moffatt thinking?

To put it straight, (like the show is heavily implied it isn't) after seeing all four seasons I feel confident concluding it's an a b s o l u t e mess. Even though this is my absolute favorite show of all time, the last episode and the reveal of a secret sister is ultimately ridiculous. The extreme contrast between tfp and tld is the great shift in focus. I thought the series was going to be all about friendship and the bromance, the way they always would do everything for each other and the heavily implied subtext. tld (the lying detective), was yet another example of a great episode, whereas the season finale was utterly awful. The plot is very "Saw" meets some "wannabe heroic blockbuster over the top" shi*. It's again all about Sherlock, diverting completely from the original acd stories. Whereas in season one we got very simple strong mysteries with a nice buildup for Moriarty. Even though we get a flashback, the character he is set to play this final episode is lacking. He is basically Thomas the tank engine. I could go on and on talking about all the mistakes, plot holes and how much Moffat mocks his own fan base, but honestly it isn't even worthy of my time. After all this time and waiting I hoped that all the suspense Moffat was building was worthy of something, but no it was all for nothing. So yeah, if you are contemplating if you should watch this show, yes you should it has some of the most amazing characters but the ending really ruins the allover experience.

So all I have to say is peace out, enjoy but be prepared for disappointment.
