Sherlock was a show that had a hold on so many of us and we barely came out of the other side. If you tell me that you don’t think about struggling to plug your phone in and what Sherlock would say about you because of it, did you really watch Sherlock? But there has been a phenomenon recently where people seem to “discover” the fact that Andrew Scott was Moriarty in the series and to that I say: “UM YES???? WHERE WERE YOU!?”

For many of us, our introduction to Scott came from the inclusion of Molly Hooper’s new boyfriend in season 1 of Sherlock. That “boyfriend” was revealed to be Jim Moriarty, Holmes’ archenemy and the one person in this world that could constantly outwit him. It’s a tale as old as time and the relationship between Sherlock and Moriarty is one that bleeds into many popular takes on Sherlock Holmes to this day.
