Another thing, Mrs Hudson is a badass!
If you haven’t seen the most recent episode of Sherlock then here are two things to note. 1) Go and watch it now. 2) Consider this to be your spoiler alert.
If the finale to last week’s episode, The Six Thatchers , was a visceral punch to the stomach, then this week’s conclusion was like a shot of adrenaline that was injected straight into your heart.
Without giving away too many details, the episode saw the world’s most famous detective square off against Culverton Smith, a tycoon with nefarious plans and a taste for the macabre.
As the credits rolled, the general impression was something like this.

Na, only messing.
To begin with, didn’t everyone else think that this was actually going to happen?

YOU CANT HAVE THAT MANY TWISTS IN ONE EPISODE.
AND YOU CANT END AN EPISODE LIKE THAT.
STOP BREAKING THE RULES. #Sherlock— Ameer Bacchus (@a_m_bacchus) January 9, 2017
Are you kidding me? They're just going to end the episode like that? That's like the biggest cliff hanger I've ever experienced. #Sherlock
