Between the ones who were whingeing that it got too complicated and why couldn't they have just stuck with the Victorian mystery, and the ones carping about either how they were giving the women's movement a bad name, or (which was even sillier) how they were saying it was okay for the women to have murdered the two men, it was just ....
Oh, frustrating and stupid and ...
And every time someone halfway sane tried to point out that it was really about how Sherlock was processing the "miss me?" message, the response they got was along the lines of "we know that and we don't care".
Honestly!
This is why our TV stations show the mediocre crap they do, because anything that requires any degree of concentration and focus and actual attention is considered "too complicated".
Did you see the specials? The one with Stephen Moffatt wandering around the 221B set behaving like a total fan boy (of Conan Doyle's, I mean) and pointing out the Persian slipper and dagger through the correspondence and all that stuff? And the other one with the little interview snips with all the main actors?
