Sherlock back for Third Season

Yep, that’s right! Sherlock will be back on our screens for another season!! #excited.

Critics love Sherlock, and viewing figures confirm that audiences do as well, with average ratings as high as 7.9 million.

Season two finished two weeks ago but left viewers unsure as to whether Sherlock would return for a third season. It seemed as if Sherlock had died, but later he reappeared at the very last moment. So, if Sherlock isn’t dead, but everyone thinks he is, how exactly is he going to reveal himself? Answer: I don’t know.

The final scenes from season two show Dr Watson lamenting over Sherlock’s grave, wishing that somehow – as if by magic – he was still alive. Undoubtedly, the show would not be complete without the on-going ‘bromance’ between Sherlock and Dr Watson. Both characters depend on each other, and despite the obvious tension which exists between Sherlock and pretty much every human being he meets, the duo are essential to the show’s success.
 

Louise Brealey as Molly,
best known - to me anyway - for playing
Roxy in Casualty 

If a favourite character had to be picked, it would have be Molly who works in a morgue as a laboratory technician. She’s quite a shy character, very apologetic for making the slightest of errors and usually belittled by Sherlock’s shrewd/obtuse behaviour. The best thing about Molly is her longsuffering crush for Sherlock. Her recent attempt to impress him at the Christmas party was met with the usual hostility which Sherlock exudes. It was indeed, an epic fail. Anyway, somehow without actually apologising Sherlock manages to maintain a small circle of friends, including Molly.

The best feature of the show is the actual Dr Watson blog; adding an authenticity to the show which brings the characters alive. Molly also has a blog too!
