Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Furtive Festivity: a review

[mightymads]

Just watched this short film and would like to discuss it. I won’t give any spoilers, though :) First, it was amazing to actually see John and Sherlock depicted as a couple straightforwardly, not only visualising it after reading the Canon or watching particularly charged moments of Granada or Lenfilm. Mrs. Hudson was hilarious, but the way Mary was treated was somewhat disappointing for me, to be honest. I understand that they did it for laughs, but I thought she was going to be a beard or something if they decided to introduce her into this version at all. Anyway, the microscope cake was funny and the Sussex references very endearing because retirementlock is my special jam. Also, A. J. Raffles' balloons XD 

If you’ve already watched it, share your impressions?

I wonder why they had to edit. Mary as a beard would have been logical and respectful to both her and John.

Even with limited screen time it was possible to do better than that. Just a casual mention that she was a beard would do.
