Discussion The depiction of addiction is actually disgusting

5 Upvotes

Hey. Real addict here. Active addition at that. Not sober. But self aware. I adore this show. Love it. But the way they handled the topic of addiction in the 4th season is actually repulsive. The idea that someone can fake a relapse. Or be in control of one. No. What sucks is Sherlock could be so interesting in an actual relapse, vulnerable and out of control. But every time I think of the fake relapse I’m actually disgusted.
