r/Sherlock

Just started season 4, and I am honestly so disappointed for now. In my opinion this is the worst episode I've seen so far

• Chemistry between John and Sherlock seems so off the whole episode.
• Sherlock is getting dumber? Like where are the times where Sherlock solved cases with smartness and wits instead of sentiment ? Sherlock used to be a genius, now he only seems street-smart.
• I think it's fine that we get to see a more social and emotional side of Sherlock but his intelligence shouldn't have to suffer from it.
• Marys backstory is pretty weak, in my opinion they could've done a lot better. It made the episode boring because 99% of the episode was centered on her backstory
• John cheating or thinking about cheating?! That is so out of character for him! Also Sherlock is the first one to notice someone having an affair but he didn't with John?!
• The plot is so confusing! Its called "The Six Thatchers" yet these six thatchers are only the plot for about 30 mins.

All in all it just does not give the typical "Sherlock feeling" I have felt the first 3 seasons. It's kinda sad because I really really love season 1 and 2 and I found season 3 to be weaker but still good.

Hopefully it doesn't continue like this for the next 2 episodes.
