re: Sherlock Season 4 (Spoilers)

I liked season 4 when I watched it but the more I think back on it, the less I liked the ending.
I actually liked the first episode and how it set up Dr. Watson's development as a character. Sherlock has learned through Dr. Watson how to be a human being, and with Watson going from loving husband to potential cheater to grief-stricken, broken man, it taught Sherlock a lot as well.
But the last episode was a dud. I didn't mind that his sister could talk her victims into being her slaves. That seems possible in the story's universe. If Sherlock is an uber-genius detective, then maybe she can be an uber-genius manipulator.
It was the speed that she could do it that made it seem silly. They should have showed that locking her up for years only allowed her to use her intellect to take over the facility and that this episode was her grandmaster plan for escaping.
And I agree that the ending was pathetic. She shouldn't have been some pity-party little girl who wanted a friend. She should have been just like Sherlock: obsessed with using her ability.

Indeed.
While I was not blown away by season four I have to say I am most impressed with the performance of Sian Brooke as Eurus. She stole every scene she was in, and while her character's arc ended up disappointing, I have to say that she did not. That scene where Sherlock meets her for the "first" time in her cell was incredible. You could literally feel the chemistry between the two actors and I found myself unable to look away from her eyes. They were very captivating.
As a villain, even with her mutant-esque powers, she had Moriarty topped until the final ten minutes or so. The writing turned her into a stereotypical lost soul and that gravely disappointed me.
