It’s the big day, Sherlock fans! Benedict Cumberbatch’s super sleuth has to solve a murder and deliver a best man’s speech, as John Watson gets married!
Update: Read our Sherlock recap now!
It seems Sherlock episodes are like buses – you wait two years for one, and then two come along at once! Just four days after the explosive series 3 opener “The Empty Hearse,” we’re treated to another dose of the great detective. But this time, there’s a different question on everyone’s lips. We know how Sherlock survived “The Reciehnbach Fall”, but now everyone is getting in a fluster about the show’s latest mystery: Just what will his best man’s speech at John Watson’s (Martin Freeman) and Mary Morstan’s (Amabada Abbington) wedding entail?
In episode two of this new series, Sherlock faces his biggest challenge of all – delivering a Best Man’s speech on John’s wedding day!
But all isn’t quite as it seems. Mortal danger stalks the reception – and someone might not make it to the happy couple’s first dance. Sherlock must thank the bridesmaids, solve the case and stop a killer!
