One thing the writers of Dr Who cannot be accused of is subtlety. And we don't get any here. Both are now headcases, of course they are. Both weak and pathetic especially Sherlock. This is a parody of a Sherlock Holmes. Not just parody but ridiculous overblown farce. What a pathetic spectacle of a person set to overblown operatic music - and in slow motion. Why? Because the plot is once again secondary to the comedy and hysteria. So Sherlock Holmes has become a comedy farce. Well Rowan Atkinson is better at it.
Half a hour in and there is still no plot or rather it takes half an hour of silliness to get to the first serious point which is equally ridiculous because we are supposed to believe that Sherlock predicted everything 2 weeks previously. Of course he did. How. Who knows. And we are expected to believe he is just acting anyway.
And Watson talking to his dead wife is just a boring excuse to keep an actor in work. She even makes suggestions becoming tedious in the process. And is it love between Watson and Holmes? The villain is the Joker from Batman and a large chunk of Jimmy Saville. Nothing new in the evil magnate I think Bond did that one.
It is all just too unbelievable and the characters silly. Sherlock is not weak or a drug addict or ever out of control and it achieves nothing to make him the opposite.
As for the plot, what plot? Nothing of the slightest interest happens in the way of plot and the fact there is supposed to be a serial killer on the loose! We are told he is a serial killer and that he is evil but we see nothing to demonstrate that until he tries to kill Holmes - well a lot of people want to do that! I don't care about their emotional life. That is not what a Holmes is about.
The biggest silliness of all is that we are expected to believe that the tedious Moriarty is still around. Boring!
