New episodes of the hit BBC show start on Jan. 1! It’s been years since the last episodes of Sherlock, so I, for one, am very excited. It helps that this prologue is entitled ‘Many Happy Returns’.

How did Sherlock cheat death? What’s he going to do now that Moriarty is gone? Will the show still be awesome?

Sherlock has always had such an odd style. Three episodes, each about an hour and a half long, appear almost back-to-back in January and then disappear for at least a year. Who runs a TV show like that?
