Was anyone else blown away by tonight's Sherlock? (No spoilers)

[First Speaker]

OK--I won't reveal the great Surprise Ending of tonight's episode. But after all these years, I'm almost never surprised anymore by Surprise Endings. I've seen 'em all, and generally guess 'em all. But this just totally blew me away. Add to that the sheer perfection of every aspect of this series--the line-by-line perfect dialogue, the sheer manic gusto of the series, and of course the total Platonic perfection of the cast--Martin *and* Benedict, and everyone else...well, I haven't enjoyed 90 minutes of TV so much in a long time...

1. I haven't seen it yet, looking forward to it. Episode #1 was something too

2. I dug it.

IMHO, OT, the plot of the episode was a not-so-subtle commentary on a certain orange person.

4. I noticed that too.

Great episode, very twisty.

I thought last week (4.1) was disappointing, almost by ring, and I had solved most of its puzzles along the way; no big surprises. Tonight's episode (4.2) is really different and shows that there are different writers, directors, etc. involved.

I had only a hint of the final twist. Thought this was one of the better episodes, need to watch again because there was a lot going on everywhere.

Agree there seemed to be a lot of social commentary being made.

I think there are allusions to both Jimmy Savile and to Trump.

it was a surprise.

6. Was it titled "The Lying Detective?" I will record it - Tuesday or Thursday are

reruns.

ALso, there is one titled "The Final Problem." IS that it???

7. The Lying Detective is the one from last night.

8. Thanks. If I like it, I'll probably go back and record a bunch of them.

I read all the Sherlock Holmes books, etc. But, that was years and year ago. I have tried some of the other Sherlockfilms thru the years and could never get interested in them. I look forward to trying these.

I trust DU's opinion!!

9. I'm just starting Series 2, but it's already my favorite.
