Sherlock Special (2019)

Un SP qui me laisse sur ma faim...

Il s'agit d'un SP que j'attendais beaucoup au vu de la fin du drama. Cependant, il n'a pas su combler mes attentes ^^'. Pourquoi ? Car au final, nous n'apprenons rien de nouveau ! Ce SP est surtout une combinaison de flashback des différentes enquêtes menée par Shishio & Junichi.

Alors oui, on s'intéresse à l'histoire (surtout si on a vu la série il y a plusieurs mois... Heureusement c'était mon cas, sinon j'aurai fait beaucoup d'avance rapide x'D) car nous voulons savoir ce qui s'est réellement passé mais aucun nouvel élément n'est mis en place ^^'.

En conclusion, ce SP est sympas pour se rappeler l'histoire sans devoir se faire l'entièreté du drama mais ne vous attendez pas à de grandes révélations... Il n'y en a aucune x)

And the point of this being...?

Can I have the time I wasted on this back? Why was this compilation made? It is about 80% recycled material from the series and the rest is useless new event (a shady journalist investigating SH with the help of the naive JW in love). Only to tell us that Shishio is alive and well, three years later fascinatingly annoying like before.

There must have been a point to this special: I guess to remind people of the events in the series just before the movie is released. And reminding we did need since the drama was boring and easily forgettable! I had just finished watching it yesterday and I could not remember half of the cases - That's how invested I was in it!). So I hoped for a better ending with this episode

The guest actors reprised their roles perfectly. But the character of Wakamiya reached the new levels of cringe: crying like an abandoned lover, pretending to be SH and failing pitifully. While he did have some character and a backbone at the beginning of the series, SH managed so well to train him that he became a willing cult follower without his own will, he had become SH's shadow, useless and there!

Fortunately, SH was only heard of but not much seen except for the violin playing montage. I guess he knows how to play only one piece of music.

This was a disappointment. They did follow the original books: SH and Moriarty fall down the Reichenbach Falls and disappear only to show up out of nowhere as if nothing happened some time later. Arthur Conan Doyle tried to get rid of the character who was ruining his life with his popularity but could not and had to bring him back. So he did but it was lazily done. Here it is unacceptable!I wanted to find out more about Moriya, their disappearance, what did he do and why. Nothing! Ep 10 they fall into the bay and vanish and then he shows up at the crime scene three years later. Easy! The magic of Sherlock Holmes?Yeah, right! No thanks!

I'll be watching the movie next, hoping it is better but not really believing it!
