More plot twists than As the world turns on speed

Warning: Spoilers
I loved the first season of Sherlock, but watching the second one I noticed something was wrong in the first episode. It began with closing season 1's cliffhanger with a total anti-climax and it ended with a total unbelievable rescue. Sherlock infiltrating a Taliban kind of sect and somehow replacing the executioner.

I hoped it got better after that...but it didn't... a drug fog triggered by stepping on landmine-like triggers.

And it got worse in the third episode of this second season... Moriarty shooting himself in the face and Sherlock committing 'suicide'...

..the saddest part was that was I wasn't even surprised he lived through that ordeal. That is what this series is about....giving you 'surprises' that you never expected.... because said surprises are totally unrealistic.

Stuuf like this would not even fly in a cheap soap-show you see on daily television.. yet somehow grants you a 9 on IMDb.
