After rewatching Series/Season 4 of the TV series Sherlock, I remembered that actress Sian Brooke plays essentially 'four roles' over the course of the three episodes.
There's 'Elizabeth' (who flirts with John Watson on a bus), 'Faith Smith' (who Sherlock believes is the daughter of serial killer Culverton Smith - played by Toby Jones - but is in fact not his actual daughter...as the real Faith Smith is a different person), Elsa (Watson's new therapist...who winds up revealing herself to be Sherlock's secret sister at the end of episode 2 and shoots John) and, finally, who she truly is: Eurus Holmes (sister of Sherlock and Mycroft, who has been imprisoned).
The fact that Sian Brooke was able to play the first three roles without anyone putting together that they were the same person was quite the feat itself, but her portrayal of Eurus in the final episode of the season is quite something to behold. This is how Moriarty in the show should've been (instead we got that man-child who puts on a stupid voice and acts 'zany' - which I wasn't too fond of personally). Eurus actually felt legitimately dangerous, I thought, and while I know others didn't like the episode, I myself found it very tension-filled. I think Sian Brooke deserves heaps of credit for bringing this character to life. She was certainly better than Season 3's 'Big Bad', at least (he was just annoying/gross). I for one liked how this final episode played out and how the season ended, so if it is indeed the last we get of the show...then I'm pretty satisfied with it.
