I very much enjoy watching these series. Although quite often the extreme leaps of faith you have to do are disappointing. The way they portrait Moriarty as being just about omnipotent, going where/when he pleases and: "Oh, by the way, I got to all the jury members to threaten them while I was in jail, and although I had no way of knowing before the trial who would be in the jury I managed to convince all 12 of them to such an extent that none would contact the police"
Of course there are no safe guards in the judicial system against such an obvious jury failure either, right ?
Then when he's "getting interrogated for hours", they show him getting beaten yet not even the tiniest bruise and of course someone as smart as Mycroft wouldn't know anything other than to try physical beating and then try talking to him as the method of interrogation.
I know they have to have a clever and dangerous antagonist to Sherlock to make the stories interesting but all they do to make the obstacles Sherlock face lethal is to make Moriarty being able to do exactly as he wishes all the time. This without them being able to show, even once, in a slightly plausible way, how he would do it. It's just abracadabra and it happens or as in the case of the jury, so unbelievable that I was expecting the pigs to fly past the window as he was explaining how he did it.
