Like the internet which might be more useful in this case than Sherlock’s mind palace. And that those “deaths” might be more relevant than one that happened long before modern technology. But maybe I’ll start with the fact that there must have been people since 1895 who have faked their deaths. And sorry, Tennessee State Police, I really don’t know where to begin telling you what’s wrong with that.
Sherlock, who was super baked out of his skull, needed to visit his mind palace in order to solve the Ricoletti case so he could in turn solve the mystery of how Moriarty faked his death. Those historical wrinkles will just give you a headache which in turn, ironically, will give you wrinkles.īut by far the biggest problem is the set-up for the historical romp. Or that the government for which Mycroft worked was openly jailing said suffragettes and not secretly pushing the suffrage agenda. Try not to think too much about how at the time real suffragettes were being placed into real jails because they were openly demanding the right to vote. Because clearly women struggled to get the right to vote so that we could stop our boyfriends from being mean to us. And also something about women’s suffrage. So her faked death became the ultimate cover to be able to murder him. See her husband was, in historical parlance, a real asshole. So that seems like a let down.Įven worse is the apparent reason as to why she wanted to fake her death. As it turns out, she just had a couple of friends.
Since we’ve already seen one character fake his death, and now presumably a second has returned from the dead, the big reveal as to how Emilia Ricoletti tricked the morgue needed to be pretty clever. Starting with the solution to the Abominable Bride mystery. It’s not that everything else about the show was garbage, it’s just that nothing else seemed to fit. Having even a small bit of Andrew Scott’s psychopath back in our lives is a good thing.Īnd that might have been it for me. But before I start listing all of my problems with the special, let’s talk about the things that worked: It was maybe OK, but it was far from great. Sherlock: The Abominable Bride wasn’t great.
