See, look at this. It's so devoid of style or personality. Put your own spin on it, man!

I don't even care that you don't like the show, whatever, but whenever I see you it's the limpest, most half-assed attempts to rile people and it's really sad.

It's either that or blatant sexism, neither really works anymore now that it's so expected.

Just finished the last (?) episode of Sherlock.

It's funny, I liked how grounded the show was initially, and then when it started to get a little silly it started to lose me (though I kept watching anyway).

Keeping with it paid off, as the finale went so far around the silly bend that it curved back around to being sort of awesome instead? I dunno.

As a fan of Sherlock, I can't really say I enjoyed it. As a fan of the Zero Escape videogame series, however, I dug the poo poo out of it. Probably the closest we'll come to a movie/TV adaptation of the series.

However the Batman Forever-style running towards the camera at the end was not a satisfying ending shot IMHO

This is a pretty dumb question but for someone whose second language is English, are there any shows that one can watch to listen to some good English pronunciation?

I didn't say anything about Sherlock because when I saw the discussion basically everything I thought relevant had already been said, but I have just recently discovered that there was a special episode for New Year 2016 (The Abominable Bride). And I just now watched it. And good lord, I feel like puking. It's the cheesiest, dumbest, most transparently commercial "feminist" story I have seen in a long loving time, interspersed with tons of gratuitious fancy-sounding over-acted-to-poo poo dialogue between inconsistent characters with the depth of puddles (those words could also be said of regular Sherlock but *this is worse*). I usually manage to still enjoy the Sherlock episodes on some level but this was beyond garbage. Stay away.

I watched the last episode of season 4 tonight and all I have to say is that it gets worse.

That's fair for season one. Season two does away with almost all the negatives from season one, gets weirder and is much improved.

The man himself was entertaining but he didn't really sing. He sort of mumbled and bellowed at the same time.

Oh man it was terrible. I love anything Holmes but this was just bad.

Apparently Holmes has a sister. He does not remember her at all. Mycroft has her locked away in a secret island prison. No one is allowed to talk to her beside him because she can 'reprogram' anyone with one conversation. For some reason, that I forget, on Christmas as a present Mycroft brings in Moriarty to have a unsupervised talk with her. She has him make all these recordings for after he dies to bring him back. Skip to the ending it's revealed she killed Sherlock's best friend (His brother told him she only killed their dog) when they were like 10 . She did this because she didn't have best friend or was included in their pirate games they played.

In the novels Sherlock doesn't even have a sister. They just ruin good things.

Spoiler just in case anyone intends to watch it.
