It’s been awile but was season 4 when he basically became God? Like, I get that he’s smarter than everyone but it turned into him basically containing all human knowledge in his head. “That hair on her scarf is from a Persian blah blah breed of cat only available from X thus proving she’s the murderer” without doing any research, just God-like knowledge kicking around his head.
The worst was the little closed-eye twitching Cumberbatch was doing when “going” through all this knowledge. It was always kinda there, but season 4 was peak “let’s show him doing that for 10min straight.” It looked so ridiculous…

Haha it’s like each twitch represented flipping a page to new info. “He’s accessing his mind palace!”
I’m surprised he didn’t put two fingers up to his temple as well.
Yes it was far less a whodunnit and more of a psychic detective show
