If that’s the case, then the… well, case of the week may offer Sherlock the solution to his Watson problem.
Like last night’s ‘The Six Thatchers’, ‘The Lying Detective’ features a modified title based on one of Doyle’s short stories.
Villains aren’t exactly hard to come by on a series like Sherlock, but when the good ones show up, they don’t necessarily stick around for very long.
Titled ‘The Lying Detective’, the episode presumably picks up where the premiere left off – with Sherlock being frozen out of John’s life but doing whatever he can to get back in.
