You can pinpoint the exact moment this show went wrong, and it’s when they decided to treat a person who murders for fun and money as a saint and the person who has repeatedly sacrificed themselves for his loved ones as someone flawed and wrong who needs to be fixed.
Yes when Mary shot Sherlock, everything after that just gets worse and worse.
John ignores it, Myroft ignores it, Sherlock murders Magnussen and is exiled, Rosie is born and they play happy families and Mary loves them both, her boys, she knows them better than they know themselves (Yuck I may be sick), Sherlock ignores all cases and is off his tits for weeks, John sends him away and won’t speak to him and beats him bloody even kicking him when he’s down, the media Baron serial killer almost kills him, only John can save him and he does but only at Mary’s behest then we get Eurus, playing games with Moriarty, finally they go back to 221B to play Happy families but without John, who just comes round to solve cases with his baby. It’s a nightmare, our worst nightmare as well as Sherlock’s, it just gets worse and worse, it accelerates downhill.
It’s exactly that, a nightmare
It’s not true.
Sherlock has to wake up to save John Watson, that’s exactly where it went wrong. Sherlock took Mary on as a client but told John, ‘You may need to restart my heart’
Oh, I wish that were true. I so wish it were true.
