It had all the trademark Moffat stuff that irritate but as you said the support characters make up for it. I my favourite characters used to be Mrs. Hudson, and Molly and now I get to add Mary as well. In this special I loved Mary in both the Victorian and Present Day cuts. I loved the Victorian story that made up the plot. It intrigued me. I liked and loathed how that case got resolved. I loved that it was the women banding together to dole out some much deserved punishment but I hated how they just glossed over it as it came out...just brushed it aside.
