My Favourite Episode
'The Reichenbach Fall' (Series 2, Episode 3)
This episode was written by Stephen Thompson. In this episode, Jim Moriarty attempts to destroy the positive image of Sherlock. Moriarty changes his identity into an actor who was working for Sherlock Holmes. Moriarty brings Sherlock onto a building top and makes him suicide in order to save John . Moriarty kills himself. If Sherlock do not jumps off the building, moriarty's hired killers will kill John . So, sherlock jumps off the building. Like other fans, I was so disappointed by the death of Sherlock. But, in the first episode of the next series, they show how sherlock faked his death. It was big relief to find out that he's alive. When Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893 short story 'The Final Problem', the public response was ferocious; fans staged protests outside the publishers' offices and took to wearing black armbands . The response after Sherlock aired its series two finale in 2012, Sherlock throwing himself from the rooftop of St Bart's in front of eyewitnesses and a horrified John, was no less extreme.
My Suggestions
This show is just fantastic, and honestly, one of the best tv shows I have ever watched. If you are a true fan of English TV serials like me, I suggest you to give it a try. Watch the first episode full and it'll attract you. Most of the people watch a few minutes and jump to conclusions. Here my blog ends. I hope you like it . Take care, bye.
