In fact, arguably no episode of Sherlock better exemplifies how far the series is willing to go in order to make its fans happy, as “The Abominable Bride” listened to fan requests and took the investigation back to Victorian England — a proper Sherlock setting.
The show knows how passionate the fans are, and it’s willing to give them what they want.
This actually isn’t the first time that the series has used the silver screen.
Earlier this year the show similarly held major events around the country to broadcast “The Abominable Bride,” which was a special standalone episode unrelated to the main continuity of the series.
