Sherlock, Season 3 [Blu-ray]

best edition of sherlock

I bought this Mosquito Repeller for our Puerto Rico trip. In TripAdvisor many complains about mosquito issues in this island. At first we forgot to use it my kids got many mosquito bites. After we used it in our airbnb house we seldom got bugs bites. It is good product to get rid of mosquito bites. It works great to keep bugs away.

Sherlock and John once again leave me screaming on an emotional rollercoaster. Season three of my favorite show of all time. If you haven’t watched BBC Sherlock, what are you doing, you can’t have more important things to do.

We went to the DR with our baby and we were so afraid of Dengue. Not one mosquito approached us.

I travelled with kids to an African country that had a lot of bugs. I was surprised that this insect repellent actually helped keep the bugs ( mosquitoes) away. Will be buying more for all my trips.

I was disappointed that prime video required me to pay for these. However, I wanted to see it so I purchased all of the seasons. I have enjoyed them immensely.

Easy to use and keeps the mosquitos away!I am a mosquito magnet and since I started with this I have not gotten a bite when outside on my patio. The mosquito repeller is easy to use, straight out of the box. The scent is a lot like citronella and has a nice smell overall. I just ordered a second one for another area outside as well.

It is a small white device with a pleasant citronella smell. I put it in the center of my patio table. No guests complained about mosquito bites. This is a more economical way comparing hanging out mosquito spray to each guest. I only turn it on while I am in the patio. Hopefully it will last 2 to 3 months.

ストーリーの構成が秀逸の一言。

After a two year hiatus, one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time returns to PBS on one, if not the, greatest, detective tv series of all time. The premiere brought in 4 million viewers not counting whatever pvr viewership followed. These numbers for public access television are outstanding and considering the source material's brilliance are justified. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are Holmes and Watson. End of story. When the series premiered in 2010, the concept of a modernized Holmes, a disciple of the information age with a penchant for texting and the internet seemed nigh blasphemous. Two minutes into the series premiere assuaged the viewers fears and eliminated all doubt. This new incarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic creation was revolutionary. After the first episode, one is hooked. Each season comprises of three 90 minute episodes, in effect mini movies. The first season was fantastic; the second season (2012) even more so.Each season focusses as much on the growing bond of friendship between Holmes and Watson as their crime solving adventures. The supporting cast mostly compromises of four main characters, Det. Greg Lastrade (Rupert Graves), police inspector, Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's master spy brother (Mark Gatiss), Mrs. Hudson, Holmes and Watson's long-suffering yet powerfully supportive landlady (Una Stubbs) and the frequently underappreciated and often maligned Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey), a pathologist and ally. All four actors give wonderful intuitive and resonant performances. Gatiss as Holmes brother and occasional friendly nemesis does double duty as co-creator/writer and supporting actor. The witty repartee and suppressed emotions between the two are palpable and remarkably fun to watch.The cliff-hanger ending of the "Reichenbach Fall" was profound, brilliant and left viewers with the nagging question of "how did he do it?" regarding survival with his final showdown with the splendidly twisted Jim Moriarty, played with manic verve by Andrew Scott**. Internet message boards lit up with theories...but most fervent in its demand was "when will this show be back?" It looked grim for a bit folks. Cumberbatch's career took off to the point that he was in every other movie..."Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "The Hobbit- The Desolation of Smaug", "Star-Trek - Into Darkness", to name but a few, while fellow actor Martin Freeman was tied up in the lead role of Bilbo Baggins in Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy. Both were simply ridiculously busy.On January 19, 2014, the third season finally saw light....and it was good. The format was slightly changed, the cinematography a bit more bombastic, but at heart as solid as ever with episode 1 - "The Empty Hearse". Even if one didn't care for the episode, which was incandescent incidentally, the humor alone was worth the hour and a half. The restaurant scene between Holmes, Watson and Watson's love interest, Mary, was uproarious. Some fans were upset that the question of Holmes return was not answered as succinctly as they would have liked, but as the man (Holmes) operates on a different intellectual, shadowy level, a definitive answer should not be expected. The episode handled Holmes' return quite beautifully and illustrated again that this long surviving tale of the world's greatest detective can be made fresh once more....even with a wink and a deerstalker hatted nod. Simply outstanding and well worth your time. Await the next two episodes with high expectations and little fear of disappointment.The Sign of Three -Ep. 2:So.....this one was quite a bit odd, but remarkably brilliant. In less capable hands than those of Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffatt the episode could have become the weakest of the franchise. It is manic, staccato-paced, and simply wild in its presentation. It also delivers emotional punch and resonance with the performances of Cumberbatch (Holmes) and Freeman (Watson). It is also, thus far, the funniest episode of this franchise. This season brings the introduction of Mary Morstan, fiancee and with this episode, wife of John Watson. The introduction of a character central to the show's dynamic can be dangerous, in effect creating a character that jangles against the established personalities in a bid to be forcibly fit in.Such is not the case with Amanda Abbington (Mary). She is quirky, bright and fun. She adds rather than distracts from the Holmes/Watson dynamic by being supportive of both. Mary is written somewhat against type, both cinematic and literary. In this version, Holmes befriends and clearly adores her to the point that she becomes a strengthening link between John and Sherlock, guiding them both to continue their partnership of crime solving and keeping each other grounded. The scenes where she gently manipulates both John and Sherlock to take on a case during wedding planning, as Sherlock is finding such mundane tasks stressful, are fun to watch. There is a kindness and playful nature about her character that gels with the established cast. Seasoned characters, brother Mycroft(Gatiss) and landlady/confidante Mrs. Hudson (Una Stubbs) add stress to the mix for Holmes by advising him that marriage changes one and that he should prepare for the adjustment. Holmes whose behavior is to put it as kindly as possible, quite dissociative bordering on sociopathic, is ill equipped to deal with such a huge change. In Holmes' perception, he may pop up resurrected and all is well completely oblivious to the damage his "death" may have caused to his loved ones. The notion that his world might be disrupted as his partner might want to have a life outside his presence is troubling to him.Holmes attempts to rise to the occasion by involving himself in all aspects of the marriage, even screening, to hilarious effect, some of the guests to ensure no issues arise for Mary and John. One such scene with Mary's ex-boyfriend is uproarious, ending with Holmes flashing a sharky/Joker style smile with comedic precision. The majority of the episode in fact centres more around the wedding speech than anything else. At centre stage, Holmes is both the best and worst best man as he is so detached from normalcy that he is unable to comport himself properly most of the time.He demonstrates the worst by beginning in exceedingly insulting fashion, likening marriage to murder, only taking much longer to get to the same result. He insults bride's maids, guests and friends alike. Yet in true Holmesian fashion, he then turns inwardly referring to himself in the most honest terms as a "ridiculous" human being and John as being his savior. The speech is beautiful, funny and profound, in mere moments turning a crowd on the brink of tossing him out on his ear to reducing nearly everyone to tears with the depth of his earnest emotion. This speech and performance are exceptional; acting at its finest, writing at its apex.To further bolster the episode, the speech acts as a catalyst and sounding board for unsolved mysteries recounted by Holmes, leading into the denouement of the tale with the ultimate mystery, imminent crime scenario taking place at this wedding. The craftsmanship at weaving various links of unsolved crimes into one large web of deductive mastery is astounding. Not wanting to reveal anything more about the episode, I can only say that it is simply outstanding and unquestionably worth your time.Another season is now behind us, leaving us slavering for more....I have heard mutterings of Season 4 being fast-tracked by Gattiss and Co. so that it might air December 2014. This would be a fantastic Christmas gift if it can be managed. I am getting ahead of myself, however. On to the episode 3, "His Last Vow".....wow......just wow. If last week's episode was trippy and circuitous, this week's was near sensory overload. There are so many secrets revealed in this latest foray, so many surprises, so many twists that it needs to be watched again to absorb them all. "Sherlock" with three seasons in the can shows no signs of slowing down. It is engaging, brilliant fare that restores one's faith in tv.The breakdown: Lars Mikkelson stars as media magnate Charles Augustus Magnussen, an information junkie who uses his skills at acquiring compromising information on public figures and even world leaders as leverage to extort whatever he desires from his victims, in effect owning them. He is reptilian, calculating and if Holmes is a high functioning sociopath by his own admission, this fellow is simply a malevolent sociopath. The tale begins with Magnussen's sinister meeting with Lady Smallwood (Lindsay Duncan). After a meeting to wrest compromising information as regards the prime minister from Magnussen, he pays her a visit and after advising her of extremely compromising information regarding her husband, he states plainly that he owns her, sealing the deal with a "lick". His licking of her face is grotesque and primal. He leaves his mark upon her like an animal scenting his territory. Lady Smallwood, unlike the numerous others under his thumb, resolves to go to Baker Street to seek aid in resolving her problem with the media magnate. Quoting Sherlock, the game is then on.The tale is expansive, ranging from a drug slum to the Holmes' parents' abode and finally at the home of Magnussen himself. Mikkelson is to be lauded for his cerebral, contemptuous and brilliantly provocative performance. He might be the "Napolean of blackmail" and a stellar Holmes villain but if he lack's Moriarty's murderous machinations, he more than makes up for it in brass. He seeks out Holmes on his own terra firma at 221 Baker Street, makes himself at home, then urinates on Sherlock's hearth. This act is brazen, insolent and fairly avant-garde for the television milieu. Magnussen literally marks his territory and claims Holmes as his. Cleary this will not stand, but what follows is formidable and epic.Really with this episode, everything you think you know is turned on its ear. We learn of Holmes' girlfriend, Janine, played with ebullient charm by Yasmine Akram, introduced in "The Sign of Three" wedding episode. She is his "closed door" secret. His interactions with her are jovial, flirty and seem perfectly natural....were it not Sherlock Holmes we are talking about. The shock displayed by Watson and interplay between he and Holmes afterward is comedic gold "you have a girlfriend...you..." Even when Holmes bestows revelations about Magnussen and how he plans to deal with him....Watson continues to be flummoxed and dwells on the fact that his friend is actually engaged in a relationship with a normal woman. When we later learn of Janine's position at Magnussen's office, we think we are getting a clearer picture. What follows however, again turns our perceptions on their collective ears. Mary Watson becomes involved in a manner that seems bizarre initially, but with further delving into the motivations and preferences of John Watson, sort of makes sense.The denouement takes us to Magnussen's stronghold and the dismissal of a red herring technique regarding the villain's methods to a reveal that is fantastic. The reveal further illustrates why of all his opponents, Sherlock finds this one the most contemptibly vile and requiring absolute destruction. The conflict has a powerful resolution and as you near exhaustion trying to take it all in, the finale brings yet another endgame to the forefront. The season finale could easily be a series finale with all the excess, yet the viewer is left wanting even more. Simply outstanding, needs to be re-watched and absolutely well worth your time.

Le bluray est de qualité, le bonus intéressant mais passons tout de suite aux choses intéressantes! Cette série est tout simplement fantastique. Voici la saison 3 tant attendue qui fait suite à la chute de Sherlock du haut de son immeuble. On se doute bien qu'il n'est pas mort. Le premier épisode est un vrai petit bijou d'inventivité et d'humour. La réapparition de Sherlock dans la vie de Watson est incroyablement drôle et émouvante. Le jeu des acteurs est toujours aussi bon, en particulier Martin Freeman qui montre à quel point il a souffert de la disparition de son ami. Second épisode, le mariage de Watson où l'on peut imaginer la difficulté pour Sherlock de se réjouir pour son ami, alors qu'il trouve le mariage absolument inutile. Très bon jeu d'acteur là aussi, des scènes drôles et toujours émouvantes, parfois même embarrassantes. Jusque là, pas de réelles intrigues et le flair du détective n'est pas mis à rude épreuve. Arrive le 3ème épisode et c'est une explosion d'ingéniosité. Excellent dernier épisode, final époustouflant comme ça a été le cas pour les deux premières saisons. A chaque fois j'en reste bouche bée. Je n'en dis pas plus, achetez les yeux fermés.

Muy buena. Ritmo trepidante. Guiones inteligentes. Los diálogos en algunas secuencias son geniales.A mí me gusta mucho la serie . Los actores , tanto Cumberbatch como Martin Freeman , desde la 1º temporada hacen unas actuaciones brillantes.El 1º episodio de esta 3ª temporada lo resuelven bien, con mucho humor, haciendo burla de todas las elucubraciones hechas por los seguidores sobre cómo se hizo "la caída" .El 2º episodio tiene escenas muy divertidas y es el más emocional de todos.El 3º episodio tiene un ritmo frenético, giros continuos , sorpresas, y es el que más detalles tiene sacados de los libros originales de Conan Doyle.

Non sono una fan delle serie televisive, ma qui si tratta di veri e propri film, e di altissimo livello. Stile pregiato ed avvincente, interpretazioni impeccabili (tutte, con encomio obbligatorio ai due superlativi protagonisti). E soprattutto una storia intelligente che invita a riflettere, con qualche salutare "pugno nello stomaco" per chi, appunto, è ancora interessato ad accogliere qualche provocazione intellettuale e morale. Naturalmente è rigorosamente vietato a chi non ha visto le due serie precedenti. E a chi era stato conquistato da Sherlock 1 e 2, ha visto questa terza serie ed è rimasto spiazzato (o magari deluso), propongo vivamente di riguardarla (tutta di fila, magari una puntata a sera) due, tre volte; io che la prima volta ero rimasta perplessa, ora sostengo senza alcun dubbio che sia in assoluto la più complessa e la migliore delle tre (e già mi chiedo se riusciranno, Gatiss e Moffat, a mantenere lo standard...).
