I’ve loved the Capaldi era, especially Moffat’s stories. As ever, there are some episodes that don’t work as well. No era has ever been flawless. But I also pretty much always walk away from a new episode having enjoyed it. And that’s true for most of the classic series, barring a few from the late 70s and 80s.

I was nervous about series 10, because the final Sherlock series was a train wreck, suggesting that Moffat really was out of steam. but he pulled S10 off brilliantly, IMO.

This was probably the first time I was left thinking, “wow, I really wish they did something aside from this. anything, really.” This is what I expected from Sherlock S4 Moffat. Oh well. It had a few moments, and I loved it from the return to WW1 through to the cliffhanger. Gattis had a rare wonderful contribution to the show. That hasn’t happened since Series 1 or, arguably, Nightshade. And the brief glimpse we’ve had of the next era has me excited for the show to move on.
