On her wedding anniversary, Emelia Ricoletti (Natasha O’Keeffe) publicly shoots herself in the head, but not before terrorizing the neighborhood with shrieks of “You!” while firing a shotgun toward passersby.

A January 6 tweet from actor Curtis Armstrong perhaps best summed up casual viewers’ conclusion about the “discussion” raging online about the meaning or entertainment value of the latest Sherlock installment: “Sometimes I thank God for what an uncritical dork I am. The number of comments online, however, had not escaped public attention.

Once many viewers had a chance to watch the episode a second time (or more), however, the response on Twitter became more positive. Some proclaimed it a travesty others deemed it brilliant. Given so much anticipation and a high level of fan expectations, it’s not surprising that “The Abominable Bride” became a trending topic that reflected viewers’ immediate responses. In the two years since season/series three debuted, many fans followed #Setlock tweets reporting what went on during filming in public places, watched a series of promotional trailers, and finally, finally tuned in (or streamed) the episode on New Year’s night. Since the January 1 broadcast premiere of “The Abominable Bride” on the BBC in the UK and on PBS in the US, tweets have summarized widely diverse audience reaction to the much-anticipated special episode. The range of informal reviews from fans mirrored this dichotomy. Whereas some critics (e.g., in a particularly scathing Telegraph review) derided series’ co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (or Mofftiss, in fan usage) for a confusing, convoluted script, other reviewers (e.g., a highly positive review in TVLine) praised them for their daring experiment in storytelling and lovingly crafted individual scenes. Sherlock: “The Abominable Bride” created a polarizing moment within the television series’ viewership.
