This a very funny comedy with a mockumentary feel similar to The Office. It focuses of Lesie Knope the Deputy Director of the Parks and Recreation Department at the local government offices of Pawnee Indiana. Leslie is extremely enthusiastic about parks issues and always tries her best.

Andy Dwyer is Ann’s boyfriend and lead singer of the band called Mouse Rat. Before the series start he fell into the pit which is why Ann wants it to be filled in and turned into the park. He acts quite immature is pampered a lot by Ann.

There have been many views circulating about the episode so this is my interpretation of the episode. SPOILER ALERT
The Abominable Bride continues the story from His Last Vow with Sherlock being called back from his exile the deal with the supposed return of Moriarty despite Sherlock witnessing him shoot himself in the head.   Sherlock secretly takes a large amount t of drugs to the to males sense of Moriarty’s supposed return. He imagines he is in Victorian London with all the regular characters, investigating the case of the abominable bride who also supposedly returned from on the dead, so that he can use his mind palace to see if he can work out what happened and if it is happening again.
