![]() ![]() I know you were staying away from spoilers in your review and those are pretty spoilerish questions (with even more spoilerish answers), so I completely understand if you want to remove the comment and/or not answer it here. Any other similarly kinda-gross bits to watch out for? □ #2, On that same note, how graphic or just plain visual is the violence in the rest of the episodes?Īnd #3, I also heard that Sherlock tries to microwave some eyeballs at one point (*disgusted snicker* yeah, he would, wouldn't he? □ ). But anything more and I might have to skip it or look away… so, what exactly *does* happen there? Now, if that just means that the person is being held down and punched or something, I don't mind. #1, I heard that there was at least one 'torture' scene in one of the episodes. Hi Cameron! Thank you very much for posting these reviews of Sherlock– in fact, because of them, I am now VERY interested in watching the episodes! However, I do have some limits when it comes to watching certain elements, and after looking up a few more reviews, I have a couple of quick questions for you (spoilers ahead!): Sherlock has shown what happens when two wildly talented and creative men get together – crimes can be solved and television can be made of greatness.ĮTA: The uncredited voice was that of Peter Davison. Team Gattfat (hhmm, I think Mofftiss is probably better) are gonna be bombarded with demands for more, and quickly. Then there’ll be annoyed grumblings when most people realise that there won’t be any more episodes for quite some time. I will predict that approximately just before 10.30pm on Sunday the better part of the UK will fall silent in astonishment. As I said this is a spoiler~free review so I’ll stop there but simply say that these moments at the end will have you dropping your tea/coffee/other beverage and staring at the screen in wide~eyed aggogglement as the events unfold with an utterly menacing denouement. Not to mention the familiar tones (well, to Doctor Who fans anyway) of an uncredited voice….īut this is nothing, nothing in comparison to the final minutes. It’s an orgy of “What the hell did I just see?”, lights and Nosferatu~style action. ![]() Paul McGuigan’s direction in the Planetarium scene is exquisite with some wonderful use of light (and dark) whilst the most fantastical of fights takes place. Watson and Holmes’ relationship is still evolving, they’re still learning about one another and it is these scenes that are some of the most affecting – Gatiss allows genuine warmth but also hostility in equal measures between them in the most perplexing of situations.īut the scenes that will live long in the memory come towards the end, in the final act. Through John Watson’s blog (see episode one) we find out how Sherlock’s brain works and why it preserves information the way it does. And it is during these escapades that more of Sherlock’s troubled pysche is revealed featuring his insensitivity, unkindness and callousness. For the most part The Great Game plays not unlike Die Hard With A Vengeance (forgive the reference) with riddles to solve and a number of lives (not just theirs) at stake. Of course, it will be no great shock to discover that one person seems to be after our “heroes”. This time a series of crimes and victims have been set up for Watson and Holmes to solve and save respectively. ![]() ![]() This, however, does not last for long and the suburban quietry is abruptly ended. We find Sherlock correcting the grammar of a criminal and then bickering with Watson in what could be a most delightful spin~off comedy show. Taking writing duties this time is Mark Gatiss and although Steven Moffat may very well have helmed a sitcom all by himself, it is The Gatt who provides the audience with a tree~trunk full of larfs, especially in the low~key opening sequences. ![]()
