Seems like it really jumped the shark this time around. It's been getting progressively cheesier and cliche, especially with the garbage plotline with Mary, but at this point it's basically Sad Doctor Who. They treat the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories as jokes, essentially (the first episode had him solving dozens with single text messages). Mary's story gets even more unbelievable and uninteresting. The audience has no hope of solving the mystery with the characters, as it's a jumbled mess until it's solved in the last 5 minutes with a quick stream of exposition.

Episodes 1 and 2 are 4/10 so far. At least Martin Freeman is fun to watch.

I'm not too keen on the james bond direction they're going with. They're still enjoyable to watch but S4 is definitely the worst season thus far.

That's not the issue at all. Turning Mary into Jason Bourne and Sherlock into the Doctor is the problem. It's just dumb.

I was really disappointed with the Christmas special. I love the original stories and was really excited to have an episode set during the 19th century.

Then they just made it a ham-fisted commentary on women's equality and I just turned off the TV. Yes, women didn't have equal rights during the late 19th centurt and that's terrible, but do we have to make the episode a lecture instead of actually, you know, having fun?

Episode 1 is pretty meh and one of the worst in the series as a whole. Second one is alright and the third one is pretty good.

There's not too much in the way of mystery solving though, it's closer to S3 than S1/2. It's still enjoyable enough to watch though.
