A strange clue in an empty room, a blood-soaked car, a priceless Old Master, a deranged bomber. With the clock ticking, the curtain rises on a battle of wits between Sherlock, John and the shadowy stranger who seems to know all the answers... (BBC)
Reviews (2)
Moriarty's actions will surely remind many of the Joker's escapades from The Dark Knight - a wonderfully intelligent lunatic, this "professor". Holmes and Watson play for time and lives and their brains practically don't breathe for the whole 90 minutes (as well as the audience), a really successful finale puts the crown on everything. ()
This episode brought back everything that was lacking in the previous one. Thankfully, the creators dialed back on the over-the-top action sequences and ancient siege engines, making room for some powerful deduction, dry humor, and a chance for the main antagonist to shine. ()
