Kak fall off the roof and not razbitsya? Scene from the series “Sherlock” production BBC

One of the main gifts Channel One television viewer in the New Year was the screening of the new series “Sherlock,” a five-minute delay from the BBC. Two fresh episode is over, at the end of each week for three consecutive days old broadcast series (this week will move in the second season), and the opening act for the long-awaited premiere made “Avatar” by James Cameron.

third season of “Sherlock” was a clear favorite of all TV season. Behind not only the success of the first six episodes and a growing number of fans, but also acting achievements Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. For those less than four years that have passed since the first series, two key roles artists showed their talents in feature films, and past accomplishments finally attracted more attention of the viewers. Cumberbatch famously tried several kinozlodeev mask (“Star Trek: Nemesis” and the dragon Smaug in “The Hobbit”), Freeman once again starred in Edgar Wright (healing comedy about midlife crisis “Armageddets”) and has twice appeared before the audience in the role of Bilbo trilogy, Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit».

In fact, “Sherlock” was not in the best shape, and the reasons there is almost a football character. This parallel is inevitable, as the UK, where Conan Doyle was born, the great detective, and then the series BBC, a country with a special attitude to the sport. The first difference of the new season from the previous two is not the most obvious for the series – a change of director. Place of Paul McGuigan (director four series and “Lucky Number Slevin”) took Jeremy Lovering and Colm McCarthy. Changes are felt from the first minute: hour and a half story of the resurrected Sherlock Holmes into a set of jokes that place and not very fun of all the characters and the expectations of fans of the series (the scene with a hint of homosexuality Holmes and Moriarty – a thin rod to address one of the most popular fan theories ). At the same time the creators clearly gone too far in aligning visual range – on the screen jumps all mounted very short fragments, but it all – much ado about nothing. In the second series of skits degree considerably decreased, but the love of excessive mounting variegation, alas, continued. Apparently, the third season will have to get used to this promotional video series obsessions.

Trying to combat

viewer that all is now faster, higher, stronger, partly justifies itself only with the second episode. Watson wedding, holiday flood of memories together not only a detective story, which by the end of the series Holmes brilliantly reveals, but also many fine observations about the relations within the newly formed triangle – Holmes, Watson and Mary, the newly-made Mrs. Watson. The leitmotif of the third season can be called exactly this complicated, sometimes startling mixture of friendship with mutual respect, which the detective and his physician assistant were always tightly bound. Jealousy male camaraderie sometimes comes to the absurd, but detective fruitfulness of such tandem wedding speech notes even cold sociopath Holmes.

second reason why it is likely to “Sherlock” has changed, it is the actors and slightly faltering script. It is difficult not to notice that Cumberbatch plays Holmes has another – then unexpectedly brutal hero, like his character in “Star Trek”, the sentimental slowpoke. Sudden changes in the character of the protagonist can be blamed on a quest (and machinations) writers that in the new season are often addicted to the game with the characters, but, as with Sheldon Cooper in “The Big Bang Theory”, it destroys more armor-piercing charisma Holmes, rather than adds to it new layers. Quieter and less colorful character Freeman as Bilbo in “The Hobbit”, usually overshadowed by the central character, but in the first series of “Sherlock” it awarded several scenes, tickling the nerves, and a string of jokes about not reaching Watson mustache. In the second he did marry, which in the best traditions of wedding toasts, Holmes unwittingly compares with murder.

In all these little things and big changes seen an attempt writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat at the right level to get out of the difficult situation in which they painted themselves at the end of the second season, the captivated audience eternal trick – the death of Holmes. To do this they had to giggle, somewhat lamely justified, to solve the case, promising new main villain, played best friend’s wedding and drink Sherlock Holmes. Expectations were so high that any first series of “Sherlock” would have seemed a failure, and to achieve a given strip may not have the great detective, and unless the great schemer. Gatiss and Moffat just could not perform a miracle. They passed much in the first series, but almost returned to its previous level in the second. Team was reshuffled, but it’s still ready to fight for the championship. There is only one question.

How

survived Sherlock Holmes? In principle, it is not so important. The main thing – he again hurry to reveal new things and expose the villains changer Moriarty took his place in the cold glow of the screen, and theories about how the detective in a stylish coat fall off the roof and not break enough, not that of the whole film, and another few seasons of the series. However, holmsozameniteley in “Sherlock” too caustically ridiculed. It remains to know what form the team finish the season series and will leave to prepare for the fourth and final. There is a chance that we have seen only a stupid clown mask behind which still lie prey items century.
