Sherlock unfortunately. S1-2 are some of the best TV I’ve ever watched. 3 was okay, and then 4 was completely off the rails, with each episode being about some zany conspiracy. Granted it can’t take all the credit, Doyle did the same.
It’s been awile but was season 4 when he basically became God? Like, I get that he’s smarter than everyone but it turned into him basically containing all human knowledge in his head. “That hair on her scarf is from a Persian blah blah breed of cat only available from X thus proving she’s the murderer” without doing any research, just God-like knowledge kicking around his head.
The worst was the little closed-eye twitching Cumberbatch was doing when “going” through all this knowledge. It was always kinda there, but season 4 was peak “let’s show him doing that for 10min straight.” It looked so ridiculous…
I actually think that seasons 3&4 ruined the previous seasons.
The issues presented in the later seasons were all present before then, but weren’t as obvious.

Yes it was far less a whodunnit and more of a psychic detective show

Haha it’s like each twitch represented flipping a page to new info. “He’s accessing his mind palace!”
I’m surprised he didn’t put two fingers up to his temple as well.
It’s so sad! So much potential and then. That.
