Yeah, I think I agree with what you're saying. The final third, in particular, felt really stilted to me, I kept checking the time remaining, because isn't it nearly done yet? What's happening? What are they doing? Why are we supposed to care?
There was no strong narrative, and I couldn't get an emotional connection to sympathise with. Sherlock was portrayed as being miserable, but: why? Intellectually I knew what they were going for, but I wasn't really buying it, either.
And the last scene was really. Well, on the one hand they didn't fridge her - I like Irene in that I think she had a lot of potential for awesome, but just didn't get to live up to it, sigh - but on the other hand FFFF. (Show, I like you rather a lot, but you're so fucking misogynistic. Fff.)
