Wreckers (2011)
Wreckers
Currently available on United States Netflix. Wreckers, an independent drama, came only to United Kingdom cinemas in Winter 2011. A resilient piece that rides the waves of drama, lies, deception and the willingness to keep living.David (Benedict Cumberbatch) seems the perfect husband on the surface. David is a calm creature, loving, attentive, and is currently employed as a college professor in the next town over. His wife, Dawn (Claire Foy), is more internal and reserved by nature, but nonetheless an attentive wife with a slight detached lingering sadness that follows her like a cloud.
The Sign of Three (Mild Spoilers)
This is the most interesting and controversial Sherlock episode thus far. It has done three things to its own fandom and to itself as a television show in the course of what was a singularly fast paced episode. In the course of ninety minutes the show ended with mixed reviews from critics and fans a like bashing the episode from being the most un-Sherlock, Sherlock episode in the history of the series and the novel counterpart as well. Secondly, it is an episode in which a case (if you even want to call it that) presents itself only in the last thirty minutes of the show and is solved quite hastily. Lastly, the big reveal at the end of this episode (which I will indeed save for the end but don't worry it's not an obvious spoiler) is probably the most hot topic button pushed that leaves you hoping for the worst in the season finale. In short this episode is the lightest, un-Sherlock, cleverly written episode that has viewers laughing, baffled, and yet subtly suffocated as a lingering darkness looms in the last five minutes leading up it the impending season finale.
