Firstly, John was shot – with a tranquilizer. Which you would have known if you were paying attention at 6 minutes 36 seconds into the episode, when he advises Mycroft that Eurus shot him, and Sherlock dismisses it as “only with a tranquilizer”.

It’s the series finale of ‘Sherlock’… and it’s time to say goodbye. No doubt you’ve all been on pins after last week’s revelation that ‘Sherlock’ has a secret sister… and it came as no surprise when we found out this week that he didn’t have a clue about her all these years. Is she be a match for Sherlock?
NewsYahoo News UKSherlock: Why I Think 'The Lying Detective' was the Best Episode Since Season Two
I make no qualms about my disappointment with ‘Sherlock’ over the last couple of years, particularly since the beginning of season three. I often felt like it suffered from the same curse as ‘Doctor Who’, almost obnoxiously full of its own self-importance with a convoluted story in place of good writing. Though episodes would contain individual moments that I thought were strong, as a whole, the show didn’t have the same vigour or bite as it used to.
NewsJeremy Myrthil, TV BloggerSherlock presumes that deception is a beautiful, ugly thing in “The Lying Detective”
There were many defining moments in “The Lying Detective” that convinced me of Sherlock’s return to form, but those mean nothing without the episode’s mesmerizing first thirty minutes. The way Sherlock mentally undresses the state of his latest client, “Faith”, and then quickly becomes keen of her suicidal disposition is wonderfully presented with the visual of his heroin usage hindering his thinking process.

NewsYahoo News UKSherlock – Why Mary Watson (probably) isn’t dead
More than that, though, I was quite disappointed by the death of Mary Watson – it was difficult not to view that as a misstep, albeit one which would clearly have significant repercussions for the rest of the series, again establishing a brand-new status quo for Sherlock moving forward. You can tell it’s a concept Moffat and Gatiss are aware of – there’s a knowing nod to the idea in The Six Thatchers, with Mycroft looking forlornly into a fridge and then closing it shortly after Mary’s (apparent) death.

Sherlock: “The Six Thatchers” REVIEW
NewsYahoo News UKWhy Benedict Cumberbatch keeps returning for Sherlock
Benedict Cumberbatch’s career has gone from strength to strength ever since he was cast as the world’s most famous detective in ‘Sherlock’. Not only has the actor been nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in ‘The Imitation Game’, but he’s wowed mainstream audiences with his portrayal in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’, ‘12 Years A Slave’, and most recently as the titular Marvel superhero in ‘Doctor Strange’. Because of this success, it has become harder and harder for ‘Sherlock’ to be shot, especially since Martin Freeman’s career has almost been just as impressive in recent years, too.
NewsYahoo News UKIs Moriarty really the villain in Sherlock Season Four?
The third series of Sherlock ended with the chilling image of Andrew Scott’s face smiling menacingly in a video being broadcast all over London, with the spine-tingling words ‘Miss Me?’ proving that Moriarty is not done playing games with Sherlock Holmes. This prompted the Christmas Special ‘The Abominable Bride’ which saw Holmes, under the influence of drugs, recede into his mind palace to solve a mystery from the Victorian era and to work out if it is really possible that Moriarty could be back from the dead despite shooting himself in the head. Benedict Cumberbatch’s detective concluded that it was impossible for Moriarty to be alive, but that he was almost certainly posthumously back with some great plan of revenge that he had engineered before his death.
NewsYahoo News UKWhy Sherlock’s return didn’t quite work
Ahead of Sherlock’s return tonight, I thought it’d be appropriate to take a look at his other return – his return from the grave – and why I felt it didn’t quite work. In 2012, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss presented The Reichenbach Fall, a loose adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes story The Final Problem. It presented a fairly unambiguous depiction of Sherlock’s suicide, indicating he was quite dead – this, of course, wasn’t the case.

NewsAlex Moreland (TV Blogger)Taking a look at the Sherlock Series 4 trailer
Ahead of Sherlock’s return on New Year’s Day, a new trailer has been released, revealing a few interesting new details. The ending of last year’s The Abominable Bride made it obvious that Sherlock would begin to explore its eponymous character’s drug use and abuse, an idea that series creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss had previously made a conscious choice to avoid. There’s no sign of Moriarty here – the focus is very much on Toby Jones’ new villain, one Culverton Smith.
