Ah. This was the episode that everyone was upset with and ranting about online? I get it now.
Agreed. The mystery sucked. It was so stereotypical and predictable, also a bit cliche. (I've seen that story done before one too many times.) The only part of the mystery that worked was the bit with the bank (or his interactions with the bank).
Who was the writer? I think he may be the same one who does the atrocious Doctor Who episodes. It wasn't Stephen Moffat or Mark Gattis. Was someone else.
The only good portions of the episode were the bits that had zip to do with the mystery and focused on Watson/Sherlock or Watson/Sherlock and Watson's girlfriend (whose name escapes me). That saved it for me.
Shame there's only three so far, and one sucked. Hoping PBS picks up the rights to the rest of them. Watching this on PBS is so much better than BBCAmerica and Syfy - a) no commericial interruptions, b) Alan Cumming introductions with nifty historical tidbits about Conan Doyle, and c)unedited.
