	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Michael Hogan Telegraph	"An exhilarating thrill-ride (...) 'Sherlock' is now Britain’s biggest drama (...) The dazzling script delivered laughs, excitement and emotion. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five"	POS
United States	Katie Walsh IndieWire	"It flirts with veering away from the original books, but never really commits (...) We get clichés, queerbaiting and a modern adaptation that manages to feel more staid than the original."	NEU
United Kingdom	Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy	"'The Final Problem' puts heart above brains... and it mostly works (...) It's not perfect... but we'll be satisfied if this is the end of Holmes and Watson."	POS
United States	AV Club	"Sometimes it was just fun, and that was fun. Sometimes it was more, and that was great. Sometimes it was a mess, and that is what it is. 'The Final Problem' is all of those things, but above all else, it’s a mess."	NEG
United Kingdom	Sam Wolfson The Guardian	"From the unfulfilling gameshow in a secure fort to the weird coda, this episode of ‘the Baker Street Boys’ was a cop-out. We deserve a bit more than this"	NEG
