Sure, you can reveal things in the last minute, but a true cliffhanger like this one isn’t earned.
REVIEW SHERLOCK FINAL EPISODE SERIES
Ultimately, I don’t think that a series like this one – containing three film-length episodes – can earn a cliffhanger, when the next season is one to two years away. But you must question whether the ultimate reveal of Moriarty is worth the entire case preceding it, and whether the episode earned a cliffhanger to hold you for a very long time. It is episodes like this one that elevate a show to must-watch television – and make no mistake, Sherlock is must-watch. He truly is addicted to the thrill of the case, which becomes a problem for everyone, and all too apparent for John, when Holmes steps all over Molly’s new boyfriend, and the case they’re employed on, while neglecting Mycroft’s case.įor once in series 1 the story and the characters are at the same level of quality, and it is absolutely amazing to watch.
And it all starts with boredom.Ī bored Sherlock can be a really interesting Sherlock, and the scene in his flat wherein he shoots at the wall is brilliant. It plays with our protagonists relationship, and how Sherlock can be disruptive to life-or-death cases, as well as people around him. This episode is one to remember, in spite of its very cruel cliffhanger, considering when the next episode would release. Ultimately, Sherlock finds a true equal in the series’ antagonist. A true game for Sherlock to play with is set up, which our protagonist eats up entirely – to the annoyance of basically everyone around him. In The Great Game, Sherlock’s fascination with criminal cases becomes a problem as the episode antagonist is obsessed with him.
Who is the mystery man behind everything? This episode revealed it all, and it is one of the best Sherlock episodes to date. Would it all be worth it? The Great Game is the culmination of everything in series 1. After this episode viewers had to wait for more than a year to see what happened next. When a season of Sherlock ends, you don’t necessarily know how long you’ll have to wait for the next one.
The following is an episode review of Sherlock: Series 1, Episode 3 – The Great Game
