	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ben Lawrence Telegraph	"'Sherlock' continues to be a class act – a testament to the almost hallucinatory talents of creators (...), and proof of the malleable potential of Arthur Conan Doyle’s pipe-smoking detective. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Sean O'Grady The Independent	"That was fun. Rarely can drama have come so morbidly loaded as last night's 'Sherlock', and rarely carry so much morbid fascination for the viewer. (...) masterful Toby Jones. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Katie Walsh IndieWire	"After last week’s damp squib, 'Sherlock' is back on form in a genuinely terrifying episode with a shocking conclusion."	POS
United Kingdom	Digital Spy	"A dizzying and delightfully dark drama"	POS
United States	AV Club	"Nearly all the things this episode does with its 90 minutes are good."	POS
