Sherlock Holmes' (
Benedict Cumberbatch) return from the dead, the marriage of
John Watson (
Martin Freeman) to
Mary (
Amanda Abbington), and a new evil enemy in
Charles Augustus Magnussen (
Lars Mikkelsen) at the three major storylines to dominate the show's Third Season. The season's
first episode deals primarily with Holmes attempting to repair his relationship with Watson as he returns to London to stop a terrorist attack. It's the
season's middle episode, however which is the real standout not only for the humor that is offered by Watson's wedding (and bachelor party), but also because its the only episode that centers on a real mystery.
Sadly the season ends on a down note with the
weakest episode of the series to date involving a twist for Mary and a new adversary who actually is proven smarter than Holmes. Ending on a cliffhanger by teasing the possibility of a return of
Moriarty (
Andrew Scott) from the dead for as well, the Third Season is a bit of a mixed bag containing only a couple of short featurettes on Sherlock's return and the villains of the series.
