Dear The BBC

I am certain, so soon after proving that you can simulcast a popular show around the world, that fans of Sherlock in the US will wait patiently while you show the whole season in the UK before it even premieres in the US.
Yes, that is right – season 3 of Sherlock will be aired in a whirlwind two weeks before episode one is available in the US. 
Available legally, anyway.
Let me know how that works out for you.
