Watch ‘Sherlock’ Season 4 Episodes 1, 2, And 3 Online [Video]
Sherlock Season 4 has come to an end, but that doesn’t mean demand for watching the popular PBS series has subsided. PBS unveiled the first episode live streaming online during its debut, and currently both the second and third episodes are available to watch for free online. Sherlock had a bit of an upset when on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2017, the third and final episode was leaked online. Though some worried the leak would cause an upset in Sherlock‘s ratings, the show still has a tremendous following. Demand for Sherlock Season 5 is high, and the series currently has a 9.2 IMDb rating. There are several ways to watch Sherlock Season 4 on demand, and earlier today, the official Sherlock Facebook page shared a post stating you can watch the full season on Vimeo.

The relationship between Sherlock and Dr. Watson is the crucial thread that has kept Sherlock a top show for generations. Season 4 of Masterpiece’s Sherlock is no exception. Much of the season centers around Sherlock and Dr. Watson’s relationship and whether it is strong enough to survive the most difficult challenges. Watch this video where Martin Freeman discusses his character’s relationship with Sherlock and why two people who have so many noticeable differences can work together harmoniously.

PBS caused a bit of confusion and upset with many Sherlock fans by changing the time for the season finale. Some markets chose to promote the Victoria PBS premiere by shifting Sherlock‘s time. While many fans expected to see Sherlock Sunday night at 9 p.m., the show had been moved ahead of schedule to make room for Victoria. This caused many people to miss the show and, combined with the leaked episode, may have impacted how many people actually tuned in to watch the broadcast on television. More than a few disgruntled fans shared their upset about the Sherlock time switch with their local PBS stations.
Oh, @tpt: Sherlock broadcast was *earlier* tonight than the past two weeks' episodes. How about sticking w/ a common show time? This blows.

Did you watch the Sherlock Season 4 finale or were you one of the many who missed it due to the time change? Did you come across a leaked episode online? Are you going to watch Sherlock Season 4 Episodes 1, 2, and 3 on demand?
