Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Omar Alaa Although a lot of people may not like this episode or find it boring, seriously this is one of the best episodes in the series if not the best. And trust me you never like it from the first time you watch it, you gotta watch it again 2 or 3 times. Every time you watch it again you begin to lock the chains and find the missing leads you failed to understood or the things you find boring. In the First time you watch it you may find it boring and scary, but when i watch it now all i i do is laugh hard duo to Watson's Personality and just keeping amazed about the brilliance of the episode directing. Everybody really watch it again this episode is pure gold and every single word is connected to the before and lots lots of quotes are taken from the other episodes. WATCH IT AGAIN, DO IT

Evan Wessman (CinematicInceptions) Although this was an entertaining episode, I felt it was the worst of the Sherlock series. Moffat, Gattis, and company had some fun with His Last Vow, but here they take it perhaps a step too far. I, along with most of the Sherlock fandom I suspect, was not expecting this episode to have any bearing on the rest of the series. It doesn't seem like it will impact season 4 much, apart from giving a preemptive explanation for whether Moriarty "survived". But aside from that, the episode gives us a better look at Sherlock's personality. We knew already that he is self-absorbed, not good with people, and unbelievably intelligent. But this episode is spent largely inside of Sherlock's head, which speaks a lot to how much he does with his mind palace. It's more than just the memory bank that he says it is (see Hound of the Bakserville S2: E2). It's an entire world that he uses to rationalize/dramatize what he observes.The Victorian setting was interesting. I liked a lot of the interpretation, aside from Molly posing as a man with that ridiculous mustache. The way Lestrade brings Sherlock the case at the beginning felt a lot like how most of the original short stories begin, and the cinematography with the living room in the street was really cool to see. The case itself felt even more like Scooby-Doo than Hound of the Baskerville did, but fortunately the case itself was not important. And it was justified by the fact that Sherlock was using it to help him figure out the Moriarty case. The subplot with the KKK style women's suffrage movement seemed a bit out of place, and is pretty predictable if you're familiar with the story of the five orange pips. However, it did show us that Sherlock is perhaps feeling some remorse for his treatment of women. In fact, I wonder if the entire women's suffrage thing was his way of realizing that women deserve a vote, so to speak, in his life. But that's just a theory.The other characters get pushed to the side a bit in this episode. We get to see them a bit, but it's basically just a nod to each one. Again, it is all Sherlock's perception of them, so this could provoke some interesting trains of thought regarding why he thinks of each one the way he does. Moriarty gets some screen-time in this episode if that entices you, but Magnussen does not make an appearance.On the whole, it reminded me of "On Stranger Tides". It was entertaining, but the show has produced much better. So this in-between episode was acceptable, but I sincerely hope that this isn't where the series is going. But if this is the worst it's going to be, then the future looks bright. I would suggest that ardent fans watch this, even if you don't think you'll like it. If nothing else, it gives an explanation for the end of His Last Vow. Just go in with slightly low expectations. Overall Rating: 8.6/10.

tedg Can't say enough good things about this. Let's start with what it is not. It is not rewarding long form filmmaking. It is TeeVee, and despite the rush of talent into TeeVee series, and their ability to engage, this will never be the sort of thing that we go to for lucid dream walking. The techniques I will be lauding here have been used for decades in films that matter, let's say for example by Ruiz. But never in the mainstream like this.But this thrills me because it makes explicit folding the default for popular entertainment. Oh, it is masked by energy and OCD. And too much is 'explained' by way of drugs, mind palaces and so on. But this is mainstream, big time popular stuff and its primary structure is that of folding.We have a Victorian character set in modern times who is transported back to the referenced context. This is done by drugs, by an unrelated inner space of visualized 'working out.' We have the reality, two realities in fact conflated with the stories written in each reality, sometimes shifting control. We have the fold that Conan Doyle put in, the one about Mycroft and Holmes directing each other.And then there is the staging where reality and the account of reality are merged.And we get it. We like it. Ten years ago, we were still in Mary Tyler Moore territory. A mass audience wouldn't follow these shifts in abstraction, these skips among parallel realities and creating spaces. I wish it were not served as a device to keep the attention of dopes that can't pay attention. But it is sophisticated abstract reasoning nonetheless, and we didn't have that, even remotely when I was a kid.

Matt Johnston This really was another fantastic addition to one of my favourite series. The actors played their parts perfectly, and they transition between timelines flawlessly (I don't really think that's a spoiler, but I gave warning nonetheless).Like any of the episodes, you have to pay attention in order to follow it properly. They go all over the place, but not in a way that makes it a mess, like so many other writers/directors have done.As for the "feminist propaganda" that is mentioned in the threads so often...seriously, people need to get over themselves. I'll probably get a number of "dislikes" to this review simply by saying that, but honestly, it didn't feel like propaganda in any way...it was simply good story telling with a theme that fit the story.Anyways, most likely every fan of the series is already going to watch this, so I don't have to tell anyone to. If you haven't seen the seasons prior, however, go watch them first...things won't make complete sense otherwise.
