The Final Problem

I am sad to say season 4 turns out to be my least favourite season of Sherlock. All of these trippy dream scenes and psychological drama are not what made the first three seasons such an enjoyable show for me, and this episode definitely has too much of that. Also, there are some plot holes and implausible scenarios. The scene with the glass is very questionable from a physics viewpoint, and as for the plane, without going into too much spoiling detail I can say that I saw this coming (whether that is necessarily a bad thing is something I leave up to you). I'm not saying it's not a gripping story, but perhaps it would have been better as a standalone film. It's not what I hoped to see on Sherlock. It feels a bit like the writers were overcomplicating things and going in the wrong direction thematically in an effort to create their masterpiece finale.

So the FINAL PROBLEM is here and hands down Moffat and Gattis have a commendable job to create the most tension filled and powerfully emotional episode of Sherlock till date. First of all those who are saying that Sherlock has lost its touch just don't listen to them because this episode is just mind blowing. You will find yourself discovering a new emotional side to Sherlock's character, the most powerful moment of the series featuring Molly Hooper, a highly entertaining and applaud-ably brilliant cameo, Cumberbatch's best performance as Sherlock till date and the dark secrets of the Holmes family disclosed.

Sian Brooke has just become the most menacing Sherlock villain of all time and Mycroft getting better screen presence are the high points or THE FINAL PROBLEM.

But despite all these exhilarating moments ,the climax is a bit let down but never the less we saw a humane side to Sherlock and a new angle to Mycroft's character. It may not reach perfection but has provided us with a more than satisfying possible ending to the world's most famous detective.

"East wind is coming Sherlock" So enigmatic, sounds dangerous, very suspensul.

Long awaited Season 4 was an incredible let down After Eurus officially made an appearance it started to look like a show we know and love. Heartless irredeemable psycho playing her mind games, very good. And she should've stayed in that lane, but writers pulled reverse and...it's like nothing ever happened. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I'm not even joking. S1 - we meet Moriarty and they escape death because of a phone call. S2 - the guy commits fake suicide. S3 - the guy actually kills someone. S4 - they play violin??

Seriously, the way they ended season 4 just showcased that it didn't really need to exist. Big bad villain(s) - completely unimportant, amounted to nothing. The only change is that Mary is dead and to this day I can't figure out why they decided to do kill her off.

Utter garbage of a finale. It is as writer never hear of what Sherlock Holmes is about and just invented his own new character. I have not been this mad at the TV in a long time. Honestly just delete this episode it from Netflix. You should feel horrible for making such garbage TV.

After being thrilled by the first three seasons of Sherlock it was with dismay that I watched the 4th season slide ever deeper into a convoluted mess. I am actually quite surprised the actors actually agreed to make this crap. The story in "The Final Problem" is so bizarre I think Moffat must have been on the same drugs Holmes used in the previous episode. Totally unbelievable throughout, it tries to be way too clever for its own good and ends up being stupid, and worse it makes Sherlock look stupid.

If this is the way it is to be from now on I would say please don't bother with another season, not unless you get a new writer. I give it 5 only for the fine acting which was the only thing that made this bearable to the end.
