Sherlock is back with fun and thrills

It was family television night and we gathered to watch "THE EMPTY HEARSE," episode one of series three of the BBC's "SHERLOCK."
It was funny and thrilling and worth the wait since the 2012 conclusion of the second series.
I won't spoil things, but Sherlock is back and the case is big -- it involves the London Underground.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH and MARTIN FREEMAN return in their roles as the detective and his assistant Doctor Watson.
The cast is superb and so is the writing. Particularly, I am a big fan of co-creator MARK GATISS, also known as one-third of THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN.
We really enjoyed Sherlock's return tonight -- it capped a fun start to the new year.
