SPOILERS for: Sherlock Season 3

           Well, the Sherlock season finale has finally aired and so ends yet another wonderful peak into the modern adaptation of John Watson and Sherlock Holmes' escapades. Now I will take this review first by each episode then by overall enjoyment and complaints. SO lets go!

Episode 1; The Empty Hearse: Now, I already did a first impressions review so if you want an in-depth look into it please look it up in the archive. But the basis of this episode was to witness the reactions and of the many close companions Sherlock's death after two years. We see John move on and fall in love will Mary. Greg missing the spectacle who always helped him with his cases. Molly who was left to watch her friends suffer. While Anderson was basically the embodiment of Tumblr. Falling into a pit of misery and guilt, but obsessed with find out how Sherlock survived. And we saw some ideas.


Episode 2; The Sign of Three: It is John and Mary's wedding day, with Sherlock as the best man. This episode is surrounded by the speech which Sherlock gives. It starts out very awkward and rocky, very calculating. But as the episode progresses there is this climbing character development from Sherlock as he relaxes, eases into explaining the grand adventures he and John have shared. We see a well knit together unsolved murder, with an appearing threat at the reception. And also a little John who really provides clues for Sherlock. Then Sherlock makes his first and last vow to forever protect the Watson family.

Episode 3; His Last Vow: We are introduced to Charles Augustus Magnussen, a newsman with an archive on every person in London and possibly the world. Supposedly this stock pile of information is kept in hard copy form in a vault under Appeldore, Magnussen's private estate. We caught a glimpse of him in episode one, but just a face. Why John and Sherlock become involved with in the game which Magnussen has set, is in order to protect Mary. Who by this time is close to full term. Earlier on though we are shed some light into her pass, learning the Mary is not her true name. John of course feels conflicted, confused and angry, but not so surprised. As Sherlock says he is attracted to dangerous situations and people. Mary is no acception.

This season was fun, and devoted itself to character development. But still retaining the clever quality that makes Sherlock so much fun. Quick note, that episode one was basically fan service for all the fans. Sporting every ship, what Sherlock is like when he is drunk and some popular theories on the Sherlock's greatest trick. The we dive deeper into the inner workings of Sherlock's mine palace and how his friends and family are present when there special qualities are needed for consulting. We even see Moriarty mock Sherlock back to life. Molly is even shown consulting him on how to fall in order to limit the amount of blood loss which he sustained from a bullet wound.
The only really big problem that I can find at this moment is that we did not see how Sherlock survived the fall. Something that I wished was, shown but by episode two I was okay not knowing. Content I guess you could say.

Now it has been confirmed that there will be a season four and five to Sherlock. Which will hopefully come sooner then later.
