Reminds me of another one thats missing from my list which is better than Elementary - Sherlock!
I would have agreed with you, if the last three episodes hadn't been, frankly, totally naff.
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR SERIES 3 OF SHERLOCK IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH THEM WHEN THEY WERE ON...
The producers obviously couldn't figure out how to get Sherlock back from the dead, so they gave us a whole load of flim-flam and no actual explanation.
The wedding stuff was boring and embarrassing and frankly silly (would someone *really* not notice they've been stabbed in the back?)
And would *ANY* sensible blackmailer not have some form of "Dead Man's Handle" setup in place such that, if someone killed them, all their information would be released?
All deeply disappointing

Agree, the writing this season just wasnt quite as good as the earlier ones. I think a lot of that "alternate death" stuff was a homage to the hardcore sherlock fans who have been talking like that on forums etc. keeps them guessing. Unfortunately, for joe public like us, it was just a bit alienating.
