The Holmes just keep on coming. Review by Brandon Wolfe As predicted, the rift between Sherlock and John was indeed short-lived. It had to be, of course, since the season finale is next week. And that’s ultimately what “The Lying Detective” has as its endgame, repairing that pivotal relationship in the wake of Mary Watson’s death. However, the episode has a lot else on its mind peripherally, some good, some less so. As with any episode of Sherlock , it’s a grab-bag of overstuffed delight mixed with curious unevenness.

Sherlock is the star that burns twice as bright and an eighth as long. Get it while you can because it won’t be around for long, and its return is far off on the horizon, if it arrives at all. “The Six Thatchers,” the fourth season premiere (and only the e
