Weakest part of Sherlock


Straight up distraction from an otherwise amazing show. Over acts way too much. Super poor casting choice. It would be better to have a bad actor than someone who is so lame as this dude.

We do THIS together.

this guy cant act und is very annoying

You may not personally enjoy the choices that he and the Sherlock production team made for his performance in the Moriarty role (no accounting for taste), but I can't let the global nature of this erroneous remark stand unopposed.

Andrew Scott is straight up one of the best actors around. This is evidenced by his work in Silent Things, Chasing Cotards, even in The Stag (Raglan Road, hellow?!). If I didn't already feel a little silly for being so compelled to come to his defense I'd go on a lot more about this - suffice it to say you don't have to like him but ya ain't gettin' away with saying he "cant act" on my watch! :p
