The Blind Banker, The Hounds of Baskerville, and The Sign of Three.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't remember the other two, but the Blind Banker had the Chinese lady reporting to Moriarty at the end. So, still related to the Big Bad.

The first episode of season 1 was a single case, more or less.

For me, that ep was a high water mark that they never reached again.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, yep.

The first ep made the show seem like it was going to be awesome (or at least a solidly good, fun show) and then the very next episode kind of sucked. Looking back, I probably should have seen that as a more serious warning sign for what was to come.

[(Anonymous)]

same here.

[(Anonymous)]

Which is a damn shame. I thought the first episode was promising, but not amazing. It was my hope that the series would improve from there,but obviously it didn't.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I watched two seasons hoping they'd get back to episodes like the first one and then I gave up.

[nanslice]

If it continues past season 4 (which I still haven't watched but have read spoilers for) I honestly hope they swing back to Sherlock+John solving crimes. The first two seasons get all my love and then season 3 happened and I'm just like what.

[(Anonymous)]

Because that would be boring and redundant (watch the Jeremy Brett Holmes series if that's what you want to see).

[(Anonymous)]

Holmes and Watson solving cases together were what most of ACD's stories were about and therefore what the pre-existing Sherlock Holmes fanbase was interested in, and John and Sherlock solving cases together was the premise Sherlock started with, so while I don't think a show needs to be the same thing throughout it's run and nothing changes or stays changed for long, that status quo is what everyone came to see in the first place, so why go too far away from that?

[sabotabby]

I think that's one of the show's biggest flaws, and the show has a lot of flaws. Like, I want to watch them solving cases. I don't care who they're boinking; that's what fanfiction is for. Every time they try to do these soap opera or international spy thrillers, it doesn't work, because it's the wrong genre and they don't do it very well.

[(Anonymous)]

If Sherlock actually focused on standalone cases, I'd be more inclined to watch it. I'm not really interested in the character soap opera.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I don't mind an overarching plot but Sherlock got entirely too over the top at times and they could have benefited from doing more actual crime solving then... whatever that finale was.

It's Sherlock after all, we should get *some* of that.

[(Anonymous)]

(James Bond. The finale was trying to be James Bond.)

[(Anonymous)]

That's pretty much the way Arthur Conan Doyle wrote them originally though.
