Elementary

In the books, "His Farewell Bow" (both the entire collection and a separate story with this title) played not just the reader's farewell to Holmes, but the high point of his career and patriotism. There were military espionage games not so much characteristic of Sherlockians before, and service for the good of the country, and the inescapable sadness of saying goodbye. And it's great that the series in its last season and final episode demonstrated exactly the same thing, only it added an abundance of sadness. Both scenes in cemeteries were fucking poignant, and Sherlock's dialogue with pensioner Gregson is something beyond touching and creative - they both needed it, although Sherlock to a greater extent.

"I'm staying..." is a simple phrase in response to learning the usual truth, simple gestures, simple hugs, and there are countless emotions from them. As well as from that phrase "I was dying ..." in the finale of last season, which, yes, remained the real peak of their relationship and, perhaps, the entire series. Maybe this finale didn't last very long before, but it just underlines how powerful it was. However, I wrote back then that it was unlikely to be surpassed, but the authors honestly tried and were close.

Thank you for seven years of wonderful adventures. To the new - the unique! - reading characters familiar from childhood. For complicated cases, which are also almost always responsive to the social agenda. For the fucking humor (especially related to Watson's awakenings and anonymous assignments). For finally showing on the screen the equal partnership of two people who have not slipped into a relationship in 7 years, but have become the closest friends.

And special thanks to the CBS deal with online platforms, which allowed you to enjoy this show for an extra three or four years, bypassing the frankly not the most successful ratings on the channel itself.

"I was bitten by a radio detective" xD

Aaaaaah! The brutes! They made me nervous, of course. I even shed a tear.
All's well that ends well. I would like to watch Sherlock and Joan like that again and again, but sooner or later it had to end, the series ended very well. Thank them for 7 wonderful seasons.

An extremely brilliantly constructed detective story.

But Joan's dad is very strange: "I missed you, so I wrote a book about you having sex with Sherlock."

@DmitriyChuprina: Please explain to me: why should every female character think exclusively about men/family? Why can't she just look at her friend and think about how difficult it's going to be for him, but at the same time she admires the strength of his feelings for this woman and is happy that they found each other? But no, of course, Joan has fallen in love with the captain, or she has rabies of the uterus. There are no other options for character development.

I'm sorry if it's harsh, but I'm sick of the fact that even in complicated female characters, viewers see only another female to mate with some man.
