Spoiler, spoiler!!! Spoiler alert.
I am reviewing this show after watching the next one to see how in the world the writers were able to write themselves out of the spot they put themselves into. We see Holmes fall from the roof, Watson sees it, and when the camera goes to Holmes lying dead on the street it is clearly him. How can he be alive? Unfortunately, if you have ever watched any of the Flash Gordon serial shows you know how. The things you saw at the end of this show are changed at the beginning of the next show. Spoiler alert again!!! I must call "BS" on the way the writers got themselves out of this one. Without telling everything that supposedly happened at the beginning of the next show that we did not know at the end of this one, I can say this: Where did the people come from who helped Holmes? How did they know they would need a mask? Not even Holmes knew Moriarty was going to kill himself. Where did the bungee cord come from? Why did the bungee crash Holmes into a window instead of straight up, where he would have just hung? How did the hypnotist hypnotize Watson in about 2 seconds flat, and where did he come from? Did the gunshot from the roof not attract attention? What about the pool of blood? What happened with Moriarty's body? On and on and on it goes. Completely unbelievable.
This thing was so bogus we immediately turned the program off after the first few minutes and will never watch the show again. When the writers treat their audience like this, especially on a program which supposedly encourages you to think, well, there is no point left in watching.
