I watched all of the Cumberbatch/Freeman Sherlock stories recently, and I think they did just the right amount of episodes for that series before it got to much, but one part that still fucking rocks is Andrew Scott's Moriarty, who remains incandescently good. They killed him off brutally early, but brought him back through flashback and mental mind-games and Scott fucking nailed it every time.
When I was watching the first couple of films when they were first broadcast, I was looking out for Moriarty, because he was crushingly inevitable. They already had the Mycroft fake-out, so I was waiting for the mastermind criminal, and took no notice of Jim from IT when he stumbled across the scene, because you never take any notice of the IT geek.
In hindsight, it was very obvious. But the best twists always are.
