A decent premiere, with strong threads for the season to explore. But, as always, I’ll be hoping for Moriarty’s return. Perhaps she could help when Sherlock and his new friend have their inevitable falling out.

Raising Arizona was on and off my mental list a few times before I submitted.

Well, if you add producer to the mix, nobody’s list is safe.

First on my list.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Pump Up the Volume, Unbreakable, Interstellar

Yeah, it’s pretty crazy. Those ad breaks are killing the tension.

One of my faves is Set List by The Frames.
