I cannot deny the thrill behind some scenes – the laughs created by Mrs Hudson (Una Stubbs) dancing on the Number of the Beast of Iron Maiden Moriarty’s (Andrew Scott) fabulous heart-racing return to a Queen melody and the tears when Mycroft tried to manipulate Sherlock into killing him. How could John and Sherlock fall by the window after an explosion, and hours later be on a boat to Sherrinford? The entire first half-hour could have been omitting in the script anyway… and how did the police not think about looking in well? How could brilliant-minded Sherlock not realise that the little girl on the plane was fake, as it would mean the plane must have been flying for hours? Did John really cheat on Mary with Sherlock’s sister? If Eurus really manipulates and reprogrammes people, why didn’t she do the same with Watson? Moffat and Gatiss seem to have written ‘The Final Problem’ for the wrong franchise… But Eurus has been waiting a long time to meet her little brother, preparing some little cases to solve and torture…įirst, the writing behind the episode clearly lacks coherence, containing numerous plot holes, and a high level of predictability. The Baker Street sociopath seems to have trouble remembering her, but something deep is hiding in Sherlock’s past, and he wants to unveil the truth.
Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch), John (Martin Freeman) and Mycroft (Mark Gatiss) have to face the Holmes’ secret sister Eurus (Sian Brooke).
Review sherlock holmes the final problem full#
‘The Final Problem’, the series’ – and maybe the show’s – final episode, was supposed to be full of promises, on the edge of a new era for our favourite detective but all it brought was bitter deception. We had to wait three years for Sherlock to properly come back, and it’s already over.
