![]() ![]() Series 3 not only got great ratings and critical acclaim, but finally won the show and our two leads Emmy Awards, and both Freeman and Cumberbatch have gone on record that they’re willing to continue the show “as long as it’s interesting”. So, the status of Sherlock as a TV show is always a bit of a concern for fans. Meanwhile, showrunner (co-showrunner?) Steven Moffat hasn’t exactly been idle, running Doctor Who and dealing with a new Doctor in Peter Capaldi, the return of not only Davros but Missy, and the eventual exit of companion Clara. Both are attached to Marvel projects ( Doctor Strange for Cumberbatch Captain America: Civil War – and potentially others, if his character is who it’s rumored to be – for Freeman), both had successful Shakespearean stage productions in London (I was lucky enough to catch Freeman live in his Richard III, and got to see the cinema screening of Cumberbatch’s Hamlet), and both are doing other projects beyond that. In that two years, the careers of Cumberbatch and Freeman – already at a high thanks to projects such as The Hobbit trilogy and Star Trek Into Darkness – became even more high profile (especially with Cumberbatch, earning himself an Oscar nomination with his role in The Imitation Game). It’s been two years: two long (and if you’re in the fandom, crazy in both the positive and negative definition) years since we last interacted with the BBC version of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman).Īs I wrote in my review of the third episode of series 3, we were left with more questions than answers with regards to Sherlock’s apparent suicide two years prior to that, the character of Mary Morstan Watson (Amanda Abbington), and – of course – the status of ‘big bad’ James Moriarty (Andrew Scott), last seen shooting himself in the head in order to prompt Sherlock’s jump off of Bart’s hospital – until his image popped up in the very last scene of series 3.
