Sherlock is perhaps the most overrated television program of recent history. 8 years on its surely time to admit that Moffat and Gattis wasted everyone time and license payer money with a show that consistently promised much only to continually disappoint. After a decent but flawed first episode I hoped the show would use its talented cast and strong aesthetic to grow into a good modern realisation of the classic stories, little was I to know that it would be all downhill from there. The show is irritatingly overproduced by a crew that clearly feel that if they can throw enough flashy graphics, transitions and sounds at the audience as possible they won't notice that no actually realistic and engaging deduction and reasoning is going on, just Sherlock running around pulling answers from nowhere and expecting to be lorded as a genius for having worked something out the audience were never given a chance to think about. This shows a clear disdain and disinterest from the show runner Steven Moffat for the source material, still the summit of the detective genre, all so Moffat can play out his obsession with the hyper intelligent messiah character he has consistently created in his previous shows like Doctor Who and Jekyll. When you strip everything away, all you find at the heart of Sherlock is not a mystery series, but a character study of a irritating narcissist who doesn't grow over 4 series. Don't waste your time.
