Did anyone watch the final episode of Sherlock on Sunday, just watching the recording at the moment, what does anyone think?

Thought the second was the strongest of the series, back to the original premise and style I thought.

The final episode was ok, Moffat trying to be a bit too clever perhaps with too many little twists. If it's to be the last one ever I'd be slightly disappointed it went out on that one.

So far up its own arse, that it is now getting painful to watch. The first two series were excellent, with the updating to modern day and the introduction of technology really setting it apart. Now it is so far apart from the books that I cannot get interested.

I agree with Gandi, what also doesn't help is that Cabbage patch has one of those faces that you could never tire of hitting with a lump of wood, (looks like someone did it years ago).

Always second best to the master of the genre Bert Coules (outside of ACD himself) it has been entertaining to a point but Moffat' (who plays with time like no one else) final adventure for BC et al was littered with plot holes even considering the stretches of imagination required to watch "The final Episode" ... unsatisfactory but unfortunately it was always heading this way.

Cumberbatch for me is the number 3 all time Sherlock though

I'm sure that will cheer him up. Behind Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett ?

SH is the most played character in TV & films so there was enough to go around.

Rathbone was my favorite but that's probably my age showing.

Merrison and Miller, Merrison being the only one to have ever acted the complete cannon as far as I'm aware

Totally agree Gandalf. I think had it been a BBC drama with a different name then it would have worked for me, but Sherlock Holmes....? Definitely not!

Love Elementary starring Jonny Lee Miller and obviously the lovely Lucy Liu

Martin Freeman is the #1 Watson in my eyes, in fact I can't fault the acting of either of them throughout the series. Only the storytelling which got a little bit ridiculous in places. They should have just stuck with adapting the many short stories ACD wrote, plenty of material to be going on with there. Apparently, VASILY LIVANOV is rated as one of the best Shelock's, including by ACD's own daughter. Try as I may though it's proven difficult to get my hands on that series, but I'd love to watch it at sometime.

Michael Williams is my favourite Watson
