I finally watched The Abominable Bride and I enjoyed it a LOT. Tremendous fun and a step in the right direction after the "troubled" series three which I will nevertheless give another try now that the hype of that particular epoch in BBC Sherlock history has died down.
Remind me never to read anything from media outlets or internet messageboards about stuff I enjoy. 
How anyone could even be remotely outraged or offended by anything in TAB must be either an oversensitive, built-to-be-offended Millennial or a reactionary lout. The notion that there was "mansplaining" or rampant political correctness is absurd.
One of the many things I've learned on the olde internet is that movies or tv shows that receive the most backlash are ones which use narration, black and white photography, flashbacks and/or non-linear timelines, have downbeat endings, or movies and shows made by people that the mass media "tells" us to hate, and of course movies and shows where they "talk a lot." All of these tend to receive the most negative and irrational criticism from the general and dopey general public.
It really makes me despise the "social aspects" of the internet all the more (except for the FSM Board). 
A more specific review of TAB to follow...
Glad you enjoyed it,Jim. I thought it was brilliantly conceived....and, we’ve all had weird dreams like that, haven’t we?
I didn’t get the misogyny/feminist furore either ???
Amanda Abbington was on TV this morning (talking about her other show “Mr Selfridge”) and she touched on “Sherlock” and said that she didn’t see what all the fuss was about either. If you read her Twitter page, you’ll see that she’s not one to be messed around with, nor suffer “insults" of that kind without speaking her mind. So, can we drop that one now,please?
Regarding your following post about the drugs....i’ve only watched “Bride” once, but, didn’t Watson & Holmes speak about " the 7% Solution" ??

This is one of those Bruce marshall "Look, face it, it sucks" moments!!
Ha ha. No not sucked, lets be fair, but distinctly dropped way below its established high standard.
Lets hope the next one off - in fkn january 2017 - with in- demand film stars - will be better.

Sherlock is ok, but overrated. And Steven Moffat should concentrate his efforts in giving us full seasons of Doctor Who. Hope his replacement can manage this.
