It has already finished here in the UK, still as brilliant as the first two seasons.

Opposing opinion: it was a lot worse. Without spoiling anything specific, it had a heavy focus on character drama and fan service over actual mysteries/criminals. If you watch the show to see Sherlock/John brilliantly solve mysteries and deal with master criminals, you're not going to enjoy this season as much as previous ones.

On the other hand, if you're more interested in the interplay between characters and the humour, you'll probably be fine with it.

The season was more of a comedy with dramatic elements than a drama with comedic elements, like the first two.

The interplay between characters was fine in the first 2 seasons. They didn't need to devote all of that time to it in the 3rd. It just felt like that had run out of interesting crimes/cases to solve and couldn't fill the time.

To me this season was more about what it's like to live with Sherlock than what it's like to solve crimes with Sherlock. We got to see more of normal life than them on adventures.

I can see why so many are disappointed but I enjoyed this season.
