Sherlock, S3 Ep1

Sherlock, S3 Ep1

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here's the review for the first episode in the third series of Sherlock. Without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

The Empty Hearse

So, here are the three words I've chosen for this episode :

Return : In this episode, Sherlock makes his great comeback after his two year leave, after having left only people grieveing like John Watson and people making theories like his fans. (And us, in the same time, since we've also been waiting for two years for him to come back !) They try to make theories, the Sherlolly one including a kiss with Molly and the Sheriarty one including an almost-kiss with Moriarty (it was also said to be a little fan service, and we know Moffat too much to know that it's true, in a way, but it's comic, isn't it ?). Even when Sherlock gives his version, we still can't know if he's telling the truth or not, and we're left with our own wondering... *quietely whispers in the dark : Moffat will kill us one day with all his f*cking mysterious things*

Underground : As soon as he is called back to work in London, Sherlock has solve a new case, an underground network who's trying to blow up the Parliament, and also, to kill John. (I still think these things are related in a way.) And then, they have to turn off a bomb before it blows up everything, and Sherlock pretends to not know just to have John apologise, which I think is quite rude, even coming from him. And in the end of the episode, we can see a man watching something including the scene when Sherlock saved John, and we'll know more about him very soon...

Change : Last but not least, two years have passed, John tried to keep this silly moustache that indeed ages him before getting rid of it (''I'm not shaving for Sherlock Holmes !'', he says before Sherlock himself says ''I prefer my doctors clean shaved.'', which is another super-blalantly obvious gay subtext that I always find funny.). Even when he says he's moved on with Mary, Mrs Hudson believed that he was about to marry a man, and that Sherlock was his boyfriend. Anyways, Sherlock now has to adapt himself to the change and learn about the new London...

Overall impression : A great start to the third series that I still find the best among all three of them. Seriously, Sherlock keeps improving and that's great.

Okay, that's it for today ! I hope that you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
