Review of The Devil's Foot

I was just about to abandon watching this series as too shouty and manic, and because of the drab-looking Sherlock jumping around like an ageing hipster in the previous few stories. Then came the Devil's foot and made all my grouses go away. Sherlock is convalescing hence not jumping up and down, thankfully. He is also sporting a dashing haircut which makes him look 10 years younger. Instead of the charming but by now slightly tired and claustrophobic Baker Street digs we are treated to sweeping Cornish vistas - and a good old "murder at the vicarage" mystery. If you're an Anglophile in the classical mould, you may well find yourself shuddering with delight.
