Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are, as usual, brilliant as Holmes & Watson. This episode brought a cascade of smiles as words from Doyle's stories were skillfully interwoven as dialogue. I thoroughly enjoyed the time passages between then and now and thought it made sense and flowed. I also liked the enlarged part for Mrs. Watson and felt it added to the story. I was completely engrossed..until they got to the last 10 minutes. Although I could easily accept the reason, premise and mystery around the husband's murder, making it all part of a larger women's movement/society story was contrived and convoluted. Up until that point it was running at a 9, it then became a 3, and thus wound up a 6.
