Holmes digging a grave in the modern era to which he wakes up in a cold stupor, muddy and wet, in 1894? Wonderful. What also counts as a huge success in establishing the timeframe of the era is the fact that the designers and director have done such a seamless job of transitioning between our current era and the past while still maintaining commonalities for us to see.
The costuming, lighting, and background architecture all greatly enhance our watching experience, and I really felt immersed in the Victorian era that I think many shows come up short in creating for their audience. I think that’s one of the things that most appealed to me as a viewer, and it relates to something I learned in college while in my technical theatre production class: don’t sweat about having too much material to establish setting and timeframe, because you can always add more, and it won’t suffer. It was well-known that this was going to be a period feature, with events set in the original late 19th century London, as originally written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Curse Benedict Cumberbatch’s and Martin Freeman’s overly filled work schedules. We’ve been waiting for over a year to see what’s happened to our dear protagonist, and this episode is all we have until 2017, when Season (sorry, Series, damn British terms) 4 is supposed to be dropping. And because of that, we need to savour each morsel that we get of this story.

Unlike so much of the standard fare produced here in North America, the BBC’s Sherlock is an incredibly difficult show to binge-watch the length of each episode (90 minutes, give or take) plus the richness of detail makes it almost a complete sensory overload for viewers.
