What annoys me about the fat comments is the desperate need of this show, like Sherlock and the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, to have a Mycroft who is not overweight. They have to hang fat issues on the thin version to make a nod to canon. It seems as though they're saying that a thin character is a more flexible and appealing human being to work with.

Not wild about them continuing the modern portrayal, also seemingly rooted in Private Life, of animosity between the brothers. Would have loved some large display of Mycroft's superior deductive abilities. BUT still, I liked the actor and some of the dialogue between the brothers and the mention that Mycroft talks to daddy and daddy talks about Joan.

More London, please! Maybe they shot background footage for future shows...

Given Mycroft will be back, maybe we will see his superior deductive skills later? :)
