To be fair, I quite liked the first episode for most of the way through, until the final confrontation scene, when it became so embarrassingly stupid that it was actually uncomfortable to watch. I literally started yelling angrily at the screen, because what I was looking at was so offensively ill-thought-out that I felt personally insulted.

And it's been downhill from there.

What exactly happened? I've heard people talk about how awful "the final confrontation scene" was, but what exactly did they do? (I'm really not up for making myself sit through a whole episode of that, but I'm woefully curious.)

"One of these pills is poisoned, the other not. You will choose one, I'll take the other, and we'll take them simultaneously. Then one of us will die. But I'm subtly manipulating you into taking the poisoned one, neener neener."

I would have been fine with this, literally fine, if they'd taken three seconds to acknowledge the obvious, obvious solution to this, the one that Sayers wrote in Strong Poison AND the one Goldman wrote in The Princess Bride, a movie that everyone has seen.

Seriously, three seconds. "I'm not stupid; they're both poisoned and you're immune." "No, Mr. Holmes, I assure you that is not the case." That's all it would've taken.

Instead we get Sherlock, the World's Most Amazing Smartest Best Dude, clutching the dying villain and going "Was I right? Which one was poisoned? Which one?" Because the WMASBD apparently knows less about how to poison someone than I did WHEN I WAS TEN YEARS OLD.

And that tendency has gotten progressively worse.
