More Critic Reviews for Sherlock Season 4 All Critics (25) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (13) The stories were plodding, melodramatic garbage and the episodes weren't even well made. Mar 13, 2019 | Full Review… Rachel Wagner 54disneyreviews.com Instead of truly reckoning with those emotional crises, the Sherlock season four finale is riddled with improbable showiness, melodramatic conclusions, and logic-defying puzzling turning points. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Akhil Arora Gadgets360 The show makes something of a thesis statement. It would've been interesting for Sherlock to explore this idea more, or to do something with its modern setting other than show what Sherlock Holmes looked like solving mysteries in it. Aug 6, 2018 | Full Review… Joshua Rivera GQ This season of Sherlock was a rollercoaster of emotions. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 10, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Not many shows can handle such swift and complete shifts in tone as this, but Sherlock makes them look positively elementary. Feb 13, 2018 | Full Review… Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) Top Critic How great to see Jones let rip after so many down-at-heel roles; even his toothy leer, which reminded me of Alec Guinness's in The Ladykillers, felt award-worthy. Dec 27, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… James Jackson Times (UK) Top Critic So. Sherlock season four started off with a bang, didn't it? Jan 3, 2017 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Katey Stoetzel The Young Folks Sherlock selects plot elements and incidental details from the original stories and mixes and mashes them together, adding new ingredients to taste. Jan 3, 2017 | Full Review… Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Top Critic In the meantime, watching Sherlock is like dropping in on old friends who are as smart and sarcastic as ever but don't seem to have as much joy in their lives anymore. Jan 3, 2017 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times Top Critic It's kind of a mess. And it really only justifies the impending narrative for the rest of season four - in which John will push Sherlock away as Sherlock awkwardly tries to help him recover - if you ultimately think their relationship is worth salvaging. Jan 3, 2017 | Full Review… Aja Romano Vox View All Critic Reviews (25) Audience Reviews for Sherlock: Season 4 ½ The momentum was lost and the screenwriter seemed to have lost track of what captivated the viewers in the first place. The episodes are all over the place with no clear connections, it was an understandable disappointment.
