Worst season. Completly superfluous and unnecessary. Plots are fetched and bored. Too bad...

Amazing. Amazingly brilliant. The first episode had me in shock, the second made me cry those silent but quite big tears and the last one had me in its grasps the whole time, even now that I finished it. This is simply put, pure greatness.

I need to tell you: It is my favorite series. But this season was the weakest by far. Maybe still better then other crime series, but really not the same quality as it used to have. To be honest every episode of this season was on a different level. The first left me with the feeling "This is not Sherlock..." and I started to worry what will come next. The second was back on the shows quality level and got me really excited, so I thought the first one was just the preparation of the seasons' climax. I would be fine with that. But no. I must confess the third episode was aweful... Full of mistakes and cheesy hollywood moments. I'm pretty sad about it, because I waited so long for this season. But if that's the new standard, please stop right here.

This season was brilliant, not sure it only has 59% good reviews.

On the technical side, there’s been no drop in quality at all. The cinematography has been getting better over time, with a lot of interesting visual ideas and overall impressive production values for a series of straight to TV movies. I’m just not too fond of the ridiculous plot choices the show has kept taking since the third season. It always feels like there must be some kind of silly mystery from the characters' pasts, with a mandatory mastermind pulling the strings in the most unlikely ways who also happens to be someone familiar at all costs. Self-contained cases with only occasional connections to the horizontal plot might get repetitive over time, but these ridiculous twists have been definitely growing old. Other than that, I thought it was a fairly enjoyable season nevertheless.
