Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSherlock and Mycroft's parents are played by Benedict Cumberbatch's real-life parents, Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton.
- GoofsSherlock goes to great lengths to examine the skeleton, supposedly of Jack the Ripper in the hidden room. However, Sherlock should have spotted it was a fake immediately as the skeleton was in a sitting position, fully articulated. Without any ligature tissue to support the bones, the skeleton would be a pile of bones on the chair and floor. Molly, as a doctor, should also have known this.

Dr. John Watson: Nope. Uh, no, I've, uh... I have met someone.

[Played when John and Mary dine together]
I enjoyed it as it continues to be bursting with exuberance, it's fun and wacky, but it is not the best, the plot is a bit on the thin side, and it just feels overly self satisfied. I could imagine Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat laughing maniacally and patting each other on the back during its creation.
It feels a little like we have a 15 minuted story with 75 minutes explaining Sherlock's bizarre survival, the on/off switch has been slammed many times, I need not add to that, it just seems a wee bit lazy.
There are great points though, some of the imaginings of Sherlocks death are fun, his actual parents are brilliant, the bonfire scene was superbly done, and Louise Brealey continues to shine brightly as Molly.
It delivers largely, but the bar has been set so high more was expected, 7/10
