After another two-year gap between seasons, BBC’s Sherlock returned with its two leading players now international film stars but fitting once again comfortably into the guises of the updated sociopathic consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and blogger Dr. John Watson. Even more than in the first two seasons, the plots of the three made-for-television films that comprise the season are more densely packed than ever frankly requiring multiple viewings to see how their intricately connected pieces fit together to make a complete story arc for the season. That very complexity has turned off some viewers, and some of the complainers do have a point: at what time will the series’ co-writers/co-creators realize that they (and their creations) can be allowed to breathe a bit and be less afraid of needing to pack every single moment of their films’ running times with cascading incidents and conundrums.
