Has anyone seen episode 3 yet? I did, and the show jumped the shark too much for me, didn't enjoy it very much.

Has anyone seen episode 3 yet? I did, and the show jumped the shark too much for me, didn't enjoy it very much. I felt almost the complete opposite reaction. I loved it. Seeing as how Moffat has already written Series 4 and 5 (the planned end for now) I'm really excited to see how this turns out. Is Moriarty really still alive? How can he? What will happen with Molly? Mary? Sherlock and Watson? There's SO much potential here and a lot of great cases left in the Sherlock Holmes library. Jumping the shark seems a little premature. I feel where you're coming from but I say at least wait and see what the Series 4 premiere looks like before really judging the show. It still has a lot of gas left in the tank, or at least enough for 6 more episodes

Not fully caught up yet but I absolutely love this show. But I also happen to be a Cumberbatch fanboy. It's pretty funny to stop and think though "hey this is Bilbo and Smaug solving crimes!"

I haven't seen season 3 yet....but is a good show, is jut the insane delays that doesn't let me go insane over it like half of the internet (other shows take over in the time between seasons).

Somewhere there is a meme or a picture that explains just this. I love the fact that these two continue to work together outside of Sherlock. They have amazing chemistry together.

Season 3 was absolutely amazing, and for all the right reasons. I think Moffat said it best when he said that Sherlock was not a detective show, but a show about a detective. This season has done the most to humanize Sherlock, which was 1) what needed to happen and 2) what happened in the original Canon. The journey from Sherlock the "high-functioning sociopath" to Sherlock the "dragon-slayer" (not a spoiler, as you won't know what I mean by that until you watch it) is brilliant.
I'm now going to give a justification for Sherlock in a comics forum. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the original stories, mostly in the Strand, a highly illustrated and colorful magazine. Publication was all about serialization at the time, but he wanted to write a series where, if people miss issues of the Strand, they won't lose the storyline, but they'll still have the same characters bringing them back. This led magazines away from publishing serialized novels to publishing more stories featured around a single character, usually a character who has something remarkable about them (detectives, gentlemen criminals, spies...). Once we get into the 20th century, this leads into the era of the pulp novels and pulp heroes, which leads directly into comics.
Yes, I just called Sherlock Holmes the precursor to superhero comics. *drops the mike*

Really interesting. The Doyle fanboy in me is smiling. But yeah, Series 3 was awesome.

Just sat down and watched the whole series from start to finish again with my wife who hadn't seen it yet. Kind of bitter about the fact that she didn't have to wait 2 years to find out the outcome of the Season 2 finale. Longest 2 years of my life. I love this show so much. It's ruined the Guy Ritchie films for me though because I loved them so much but this show does everything so much better. But then again, I'll follow Martin Freeman anywhere.
