Decently entertaining, but probably the most forgettable episode of the entire show.

Exciting and entertaining, but not the best of the Sherlock episodes.

There's not a whole lot of love for this one, but I actually prefer it to the following two installments with their clever (or lukewarm) attempts at trying to introduce classic characters in this modern version. This one is a straight forward bottle installment, something that I've always had a lot of love for.

Sometimes a certain three-letter word communicates disappointment much better than a load of four-letter ones: Meh.

Possibly the weakest entry of the show is still perfectly entertaining.

probably the weakest sherlock episode to date, though being weak by sherlock standards is still pretty damn good by regular tv standards. there were still lovely moments of witty banter, but it felt a bit thin and contrived, plot-wise.

A huge disappointment after the great pilot. The mystery is not very intriguing. The main problem is that the threat of the mysterious oriental powers doesn't really work in the modern setting. If set 100 years earlier it would have been far more suspenseful. It does have some funny comedic bits and a promising ending though.

Engaging TV film, stands out as the most unnecessary of the show though.

The editing remains trash, and the script was also terrible this time around. Bleh.
