I really liked the style he had brought to the first two seasons. Instead of doing a voiceover montage,  Sherlock's thought process (or mind palace) is depicted through visuals (such as the on screen text) and I think his directing was more or less responsible for that. In general, he gave the series a dreamlike, modern Holmesian atmosphere that added to the overall magic. Although, I will give credit where credit is due to Euros Lyn and Toby Haynes as there talents were up to par with his.
 
Season Three had different directors, which explains why it had a look and feel that was a departure from what I saw before. It was so different in ways that I can’t describe. While I got the impression that they had adapted to the elements that McGuigan had established, it did feel like a certain charm was missing. For example, Jeremy Lovering’s style in “The Empty Hearse” was not to my taste.
