The Nerdwriter Analyzes How SHERLOCK Films Thought
I don't know about you, but I thought this past Sunday's episode of BBC's Sherlock, entitled "The Lying Detective," was a huge improvement over the first episode of this season. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "Mary Watson spycraft" angle, so to see that put on the back burner in favor of a story about Sherlock reuniting with John Watson to stop a serial killer (with the always-solid Amanda Abbington still very much in the picture in John's mind) was a glorious change of pace and I think it's exactly what the show needed.
In a new video essay, the Nerdwriter analyzes the singular way this show films the thoughts of its title character. It's a nice breakdown of one particular series of revelations in the episode, and a good look at the inventive and sophisticated storytelling methods utilized by the directors of this show. I'm looking forward to seeing how next week's episode goes, and whether or not it will serve as not only the season finale, but also the final episode of the entire show.
