How the hell is it not a good episode? I came off iPlayer thinking it was one of the best eps, now everyone is trashing it? Because it's about Mary? The writing was amazing, who cares?

It was absolutely terrible. I'm going to sound arrogant, but if you believe that was good television, then you just don't know what you're talking about.

then you just don't know what you're talking about.

And you do? Sorry you're angry, but your opinion is an opinion. The show was in no way undeniably objectively bad.

It kind of is though. There are so many plot holes and flaws in logic, it seems like a kid wrote the plot, and while it did have some nice moments, predictability and a stupid plot make this episode bad. You can't argue that the logic behind pretty much everything in this episode was flawed.

Then I can also argue that Mary's character is boring and that a show called Sherlock should be about, you know, Sherlock solving impossible mysteries, but that is, indeed, opinion.
