The first 2 seasons are perfection, unfortunately the tragic passing of Jeremy's wife clearly affected his entire well being. Still, his older, more "burdened by life" Holmes is still worthy of high praise.
Indeed it shows. And closer to the last episodes one can see his health is taking a toll.
In the last Sherlock Holmes: The hound of the Baskervilles, his appearances are rather scarce, considering S. Holmes the sleuth is the centrepiece of the films / series.
His health was suffering considerably at that time. Hence the scarf in all his appearances.
Only David Burke remains.

Sorry about the off topic.
