SHERLOCK 4x1 "The Six Thatchers" Reaction & Discussion! | Benedict Cumberbatch | Martin Freeman

🙃 I still can't believe the actors who portray Mary and Watson, who were married in real life, did this season while going thru a divorce. Ultimate professionalism and talent. "We need you to act like you're deeply in love even though you're going through a divorce and hate each other's guts right now!"

In Arthur Conan Doyle's books, Mary also dies shortly after the wedding. Those familiar with the books are prepared for this. It's heavy stuff, but the next two episodes are even darker.

"Minecraft" and "My-craft" is killing me😂😂

Poor Sherlock becoming the punching bag. Anyway, next episode is one of my all time favourites. It’s a masterpiece. Can’t wait for you to react to it.

Sherlocks guilt comes from aggravating the villain. Mary warns him, he keeps going, then she shoots and Mary dies. That's why they have that scene at the end with Hudson. He blames himself

Partially based on the story 'Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Yellow Face' in where Holmes overconfidently gets a case wrong in a location called Norburry and afterwards instructs Watson to say the word 'Norburry' should Holmes ever get too overconfident during a case.

The scene where the dog stops is based on the dog (actor) not moving when he was supposed to in the scene. They wrote it into the script.

Mary was a wonderful addition to the dynamic duo — her passing still hits for me after all these years! 😢 Watson had been through so much heartache already 🥺 I remember thinking, “when does all of the hurting stop for this man?!”

As a fan of Sherlock, I'm glad you two are enjoying this. But because it's nearing the end, if you want another crime series from the UK with a dynamic lead, if you've not seen it, I recommend Luther with Idris Elba.

I cannot wait until the next episode. My mom and I always watched Sherlock together, but I missed the premiere of Episode 2. The next day she told me "I won't spoil anything, but I think they just had the most reprehensible villain ever."
