You know, some times less is more.

This was an overstuffed, overlong episode of Sherlock. The abominable bride is a largely simple story, told in a rather convoluted way. A non-linear story telling doesn't always work, and this is one perfect example. The episode works till the 1 hour mark, after which it becomes a very bad mash up of Reichenbach falls and Inception. Inception, yes, you heard it right.

Had it just focused on the Victorian era, it would have been good. Had it focused just on Moriarty, it would have been good. Instead, what we get is a half baked episode. The humor saves the mediocre writing.
