Fabulous!

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! I thought the ending was superb. The ratcheting up of emotional tension as Sherlock might be, gasp, in love (!) and then betrayed was great. So heart-breaking. And then he turns the tables on her. And then it turns out they're both besotted after all. Jeez. And after all that Watson tries to hide her death and no, Sherlock has actually saved her? Cumberbatch and Freeman remain a fantastic double act, with even more bickering and gags at their status as a couple this time around. There can't be a greater pleasure on telly at the moment than seeing the look of arch disdain on Cumberbatch's face dissolve into boyish giggles with Freeman on a sofa in Buckingham Palace, or in the back of a cab.

Absolutely amazing. I have whiplash. Great writing, great acting. Great directing. Why can't all TV be this good?
