Sherlock’s special episode is its worst.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though BBC's Sherlock has a strong fanbase attached to it, many viewers found that the series' final installment, series 4, was its worst, however, nothing can truly be as bad as Sherlock's special episode, "The Abominable Bride." Sherlock is a British mystery series that is a modern retelling of the stories of Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 1800s.
While Sherlock is generally well-liked by critics and audiences, the series isn't completely free of mistakes. In particular, many fans of the series feel that the final season lacked what the earlier seasons had. For example, series 4 ignored the mystery-per-episode format of the first seasons, and instead, took on an overarching plot that was far more dramatic and far less exciting and detail-oriented.
Like a typical Sherlock episode, "The Abominable Bride" follows Sherlock as he solves a mystery. In particular, Sherlock is hoping to figure out how Moriarty could possibly survive after having shot himself in the head. Therefore, the famed detective does drugs, enters his mind palace, and solves the case of a Victorian bride who seemingly killed herself, then rose from the dead to kill her husband.
The Sherlock Special Episode Was Full Of Fan-Service But Added Nothing To The Series For the most part, "The Abominable Bride" failed because it didn't add anything to the plot. Rather than being a witty and thoughtful addition to the series, it was an installment that was solely fan service. Viewers got to see Cumberbatch and Freeman dressed up as Victorian Holmes and Watson, but at the end of the day, the episode didn't move the plot forward.
