Among Sherlock`s accolades are BAFTAs, Emmys and a Golden Globe. The ratings on review aggregator websites are excellent – 9.3/10 on IMDb and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes only emphasize the universal acclaim that Sherlock is enjoying.

UPDATED July 26, 2016: Everything they know will be tested. That`s what one of the tag lines in the teaser trailer revealed at the San Diego Comic-Co last week reads. From the trailer we can discern significantly more action scenes than usual in Sherlock series 4, as well as the fact that, as Cumberbatch himself has admitted, it is “a real emotional roller coaster”. In an unofficial statement co-creators Mark Gatis and Steven Moffat have hinted that it is unlikely that season 4 will be the last one for the series, which is a consolation, albeit unconfirmed.
