While this episode does have a number of tweaks from its source material, and I applaud the updates for their imagination, however it's just not as good as previous installments. Largely, I feel, that my lack of appreciation comes from how ubiquitous the source material is, how iconic it is. It's not that this is a perversion, but by name alone, it simply feels like a rehash of what we've all heard before. In other words, it's quite not different enough, and I'm not sure it could have been.

Creative update of the classic Sherlock Holmes story, though it's the weakest episode of the second season.

While Sherlock episodes are generally pretty good, this was one of my least favorite. Still, it's a great series, and even when it misses it is still really enjoyable. Freeman and Cumberbatch bring fresh life into the characters of Watson and Holmes, and I'd recommend the series to almost anyone.

The episode is entertaining enough, if you can live with the (needless) sci-fi upgrade, and the fact that you'll have this episode figured faster than Sherlock. ADVERT: I'm currently looking for a gas-mask like the one featured. Call 555-WTFWASTHAT.

By far the weakest of this Sherlock series. Does have good moments though. The acting is brilliant as expected.

Not on par with some of the better episodes, but hell, find me a show that is amazing every time out.

Heavily draws on the horror genre. Sherlock's monologue is outstanding.

One of the more difficult Sherlock stories to adapt with a modern twist. It was a fine attempt I guess but comes off as a bit goofy and contrived even with the increasingly comedic approach.

Highlight was the sieg-heiling monkey.

Not as poor as many make it out to be. It is still highly enjoyable, just not as strong as most other episodes.
