Each season of CBS's 'Elementary' has had a through-line that runs throughout that season, usually sprinkled in between the 'case of the week' format.

This time around, that through-line is the serial killer Michael, who befriends Sherlock during a drug user meeting, and bases his recovery on what Sherlock once said: "my work gives me purpose".

For reasons I'm not going to go into, the season ends with, I thought, the perfect ending, with Holmes and Warson back where they belong in 221B Baker Street, London

Penultimate Hitchcock thriller is solid but unpalatable tale of a serial killer on the loose in London and marked Hitchcock's return to his home country for the first time in decades. Police are baffled by the crimes of the so-called Necktie Killer, eventually set their sights on drifter and generally moody git Blaney (Finch). But have they got the right man?

Hitchcock himself certainly turns up, for there is at least one moment of the old dark magic (a bravura tracking shot in which a murder is implied without being shown), but it is the problematic Hitch - misogynistic, sour, given to awkward tonal misjudgements - who oversees this movie. Movie is largely about a rapist and killer, but the director still includes various jolly running gags and moments of broad comedy; the end result may well leave a bad taste in the mouth of discerning viewers. The decision to go with such an unsympathetic anti-hero is also arguably a mistake. Worth a look for Hitchcock fans, but also evidence that the great man had essentially shot his bolt many years earlier.
