Cumberbatch is still perfect as Sherlock Holmes, delivering lines perfectly with a deadpan tone that just makes him sound smarter than everyone else in the room. It’s incredible to see the two of them back in the roles that made them incredibly famous and the chemistry between them is just fantastic. But its still the duo of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman that makes it all work. Rupert Graves’ version of the somewhat bumbling Inspector Lestrade is still a hoot. It’s really refreshing to see how Mofatt somehow acknowledges the changes he made with the characters and, at the same time, pay homage to the original work with The Abominable Bride.Īlso, once again, the acting is really good!

While The Abominable Bride has already been aired and those who were going to watch it have probably already done so, there’s still a small portion who may not have. So, what does Mofatt give us after cutting our teeth with the modern version of the super sleuth? Set the Special in Victorian England, of course!
