What to Know

Critics Consensus

"The Six Thatchers" is a welcome return for the much-missed series, and features a shocking turn of events that bolsters a somewhat thin plot.

That [Steven] Moffat would go to all this effort to create such a textured interpretation of Mary Watson only to kill her off to make room for Sherlock's central relationship is a little baffling. Go to Full Review Roisin O'Connor Independent (UK) 04/11/2019
Perhaps the combination of the show's huge success and a rabid fanbase has gone to [Mark] Gatiss and [Steven] Moffat's heads. Go to Full Review Aja Romano Vox 04/11/2019
Frustratingly, the only real reason for Mary's demise predictably seems to be to examine its impact on Sherlock and John. Go to Full Review Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor 08/04/2020
It seems as though the show is trying to reconfigure around John, who has been largely shuffled over in favor of Sherlock's character journey these past two seasons or so. Go to Full Review Akhil Arora Gadgets360 07/03/2020
Going by the efforts of the new entry, it seems that Sherlock may have become too myopic for its own good just as its lead detective. Go to Full Review Katey Stoetzel The Young Folks 04/11/2019
