Monica Riese Austin Chronicle 04/10/2019
Let's be honest: Being a rich newspaper magnate in 2014 just doesn't have the same threatening feel to it as some kid on the other end of a keyboard halfway across the world. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx 04/10/2019
I found this season more disappointing than not, and yet the talent on hand, and the great bond between our two heroes, remains so strong that I'll still be happy to return to 221B Baker Street whenever the next opportunity presents itself.

Sherlock is known for being clever but this time it is trying far too hard and is coming across a tad foolish. Go to Full Review Josh Wilding Daily Mirror (UK) 04/10/2019
5/5
With some amazing visual sequences, a number of clever twists, a truly detestable villain and a strong story, Sherlock continues to show why it is simply one of the greatest TV shows of all-time. Go to Full Review Alicia Lutes CinemaBlend 04/10/2019
A nonstop, twisty-turny, action-packed, and clever as hell little jaunt, His Last Vow took us out the insular world of Watson and Holmes and into the reality of the situation at hand. Go to Full Review Svetlana Legetic Brightest Young Things 04/10/2019
Steven Moffat may say that this isn't a detective show but a show ABOUT detectives, but I don't care-I wanted some murder, mayhem and criminal mastermindery and I wanted it now. Blessedly, episode 3 delivered. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
