5 Ways Sherlock Has Proved To Be More Human In Season 3

5. His Worry For Mycroft

As someone who enjoys solitude, it surprised everyone when Sherlock accused Mycroft of being alone and needing a €œgoldfish€. I think we all got a gist that Sherlock didn€™t mean an actual one €“ but hey, to each his own. Besides that, the fact that he was able to see that his brother was lonely is far away from the sociopath we saw in the first episode of the season. Character development is difficult in a series that€™s already been written and rewritten multiple times in the past two hundred years, but some how Gatiss, the main writer on both episodes so far, has made Sherlock have character development that I haven€™t seen in the books nor the movies. It€™s an incredible thing to see from Sherlock €“ a man worried about his brother. People could attribute this to the two years that Sherlock was away, and could say that he was lonely, and doesn€™t want his brother to go through what he had gone through. However, Sherlock Holmes without character development wouldn€™t have missed anyone. It would have been all about the chase, and not about what he left behind. How many times has he left John alone in series one? No, this isn€™t the case of just a result of him being a way. It shows a family dynamic between Sherlock and Mycroft that we€™ve never seen before.
