John Watson (Freeman) in 1895, deep in the Victorian Era. We get an alternate version of Sherlock Holmes (Cumberbatch) and Dr. When I reconsidered things, I think The Abominable Bride is a true horror, never answering the central question and making a mess out of the one they do have. I've seen The Librarians episodes that are more rational, logical, and coherent.and that series' premise is that magic is real! The Abominable Bride, at first, was to my mind, the world's longest trailer. It's simply the worst thing I've ever seen on television. Dear GOD but I've tried and tried so hard to like Sherlock, to get into it the way so many have, to hold it up as this great turning point in television history in the same way that so many critics have. Well, now I have finally gotten around to watching The Abominable Bride. The Abominable Bride, in a way, was created to try and bring an explanation, but it ended up being a big tease where we were told he was really dead.or was he? They ended last season with a character we saw blow his brains out suddenly reappear (this trope of a character coming back from the dead being so favored by Moffat that it's downright parody) they then were left with having to find a logical way to explain this. My own view is that Sherlock co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss so tied themselves into a Gordian Knot with their efforts to be oh-so-clever that it will take months if not years to try to sort out their mess. This may be true, or perhaps partially true. Ostensibly, there will be no new Sherlock episodes due to the heavy schedule of its two leads: Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. It's also the only Sherlock episode this year, as the next episode will air in 2017. The Abominable Bride is the New Year's Special for Sherlock, the wildly popular Sherlock Holmes adaptation from the BBC.
