We all hate when our favorite TV shows go on hiatus, but no one has it worse than fans of Sherlock. The BBC series featuring the famous detective airs only three episodes every two years. It’s been almost a year since season 3, and there’s still another long year left to go. With stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman busy with other projects, it’s understandable that the show might take a while to film. But that doesn’t make it any easier for viewers, who can’t get enough of the mystery drama. Luckily, there are many moments from the show that depict the difficulty of having to wait for new episodes.
