I finished watching the Six Thatchers and i am worried, really worried.

When this show first aired it was a breath of fresh air. A well-written,well-acted, well-directed, well-produced show. Interesting story lines brought from the past into the present. I noticed something going wrong when the writers and producers thought that the Moriarty storyline and the Mary storyline was becoming more prominent then the good old fashioned just solve a mystery story lines.

I for one do no not watch this show for the political intrigues or the is he dead or isn't he. I just want to watch a mystery being solved by Sherlock. I do no not want to see an actress play an mercenary when clearly the actress playing Mary could never ever be such a person.

I think this is the decline of the series alas. Why don't producers and writers just keep a good thing going but instead think they can reinvent the wheel? What do people love about Sherlock Holmes? His ability to be Sherlock Holmes.

This is obviously not a bad show, i loved the first 2 seasons, was not sure about the third and the fourth started badly for me
