I would, of course, never spoil it here, but I can tell you that Executive Producer/Writer Mark Gatiss has crafted a beauty of a resolution in "The Empty Hearse," working very loosely from the Doyle story "The Adventure of Empty House." Gatiss and the team behind "Sherlock" have a blast in "The Empty Hearse" playing with audience expectations and hopes for what would happen this season. For two years (episode 2.3 originally played in January of 2012 in the U.K.), the rabid fan base of this show has devoted an amazing amount of time and energy to trying to figure how Holmes faked his death. And then, in a classic cliffhanger that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have loved, Watson gave a speech at Holmes' tombstone as the detective watched from a distance. Watson saw Holmes throw himself from a rooftop and saw the bloodied body of his friend and partner on the pavement.
The final chapter of season two of "Sherlock," "The Reichenbach Fall," ended with the death of Sherlock Holmes. The writing is still incredibly crisp, so smart, and never boring, and the deeper focus on relatable emotion, particularly in the definition of the relationship between Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman), could even bring in new fans to this international phenomenon. However, what works about "Sherlock" has not been lost. With a slightly more sentimental tone, more reliance on visuals than the first two seasons, and a real lack of a villain until the third and final chapter, the 2014 episodes of "Sherlock" may throw some fans for a loop.

When people think of their favorite shows, it's typically the names of the male lead-Tony Soprano, Walter White, Dexter Morgan-that come to mind before the title of the show itself.
If comedy is about ensemble, drama is so often defined by its leading characters. "Back to Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes."-"Sherlock," Episode 3.1, "The Empty Hearse" From Rockford to House, television producers have made a fortune building programs around confident, engaging leading men.
