Plots(1)
'Just one more miracle, Sherlock. Stop being dead.' Two years after the devastating events of The Reichenbach Fall, Dr John Watson has got on with his life. New horizons, romance and a comforting domestic future beckon. But with London under threat of a huge terrorist attack, Sherlock Holmes is about to rise from the grave with all the theatricality that comes so naturally to him. It's what his best friend wanted more than anything, but for John Watson it might well be a case of 'be careful what you wish for!' If Sherlock thinks everything will be just as he left it, though, he is in for a very big surprise... (BBC)

It's more about Sherlock and John, their tiptoeing and how things actually went down last time, than it is about a new case, which actually almost ends up unsolved, which is a bit of a shame. The ending promises a better show next time, so I will believe it.

While watching the first episode of the third season, I had an incessant feeling that the creators were pushing too hard. According to viewers' responses, the humor was well received, so they definitely didn't hold back, which was a bit of a shame. I had the impression that I was watching a comedy lightly seasoned with detective work, the repeated convoluted explanations of Sherlock's immortality annoyed me, and I think Mark Gatiss is lucky that Annie Wilkes is just a fictional character.
