Eine Videobotschaft lässt Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) an Moriartys Tod zweifeln: Hat sein Rivale diese vorher aufgezeichnet – oder tatsächlich auf mysteriöse Weise überlebt? Nun sehnt Sherlock ungeduldig den nächsten Schachzug des raffinierten Verbrechers herbei. Leider lässt dieser auf sich warten. Weder die Patenschaft für das Baby seiner Freunde Watson (Martin Freeman) und Mary (Amanda Abbington) noch die für ihn kinderleichten Fälle von Inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves) bieten dem unterforderten Meisterdetektiv einen erfüllenden Zeitvertreib. Als er beim mysteriösen Tod eines jungen Mannes auf ein scheinbar unbedeutendes Detail aufmerksam wird, erwacht sein Instinkt: Dass im Haus von dessen Eltern eine Statue der früheren Premierministerin Thatcher zerstört wurde, führt zu einem faszinierenden Rätsel: Jemand ist auf der Suche nach etwas Kostbarem, das er in der Büste vermutete. Da es davon noch fünf weitere Exemplare gibt, macht sich Sherlock auf die Jagd nach dem Einbrecher (Sacha Dhawan). Dass er Moriarty hinter allem vermutet, steigert den Reiz. An dem Fall zeigt auch Mary besonderes Interesse, verschweigt jedoch, was er mit ihrer Vergangenheit zu tun hat. Bald schon gerät sie in Gefahr. (ARD)

Silence before the storm being built step by step. But in the final, there is no even a thunder. No thunder, but no even lighting. That's basically enough anyway; especially when it nicely except for a few minutes, follows serious (in the Moffato-Gatissian sense) mode at the expense of the comedy (one would almost be afraid that it will be a Shercom and mime sitcom). It's on riding the "Bond" wave. However, both key levels are to some extent problematic. The crime line gets fragmented in a promising way into six directions (and plays with the Six Napoleons in the spirit of the opening series) to result in a point clear from the prologue, and no matter how the personal line is crucial, by being entirely from Sherlock's point of view and purely about it, so Watson, who is sadly lags behind, doesn't get enough space (and let's admit that Holmes without Watson in the book, is just not that good, let alone here). Because of this, the closing doesn't have the right driving force the creators intended. However, it has the potential for interesting lines for the rest of the series. Definitely the weakest episode so far, but not downright weak or futile, though perhaps too much on the verge of Mrs. Hudson with "Norbury".

In the previous season, the creators of Sherlock made me believe that I didn't trust them at all now in what they do, not even the death of one of the main characters. And if that death was to be the best thing that happened in this episode, I'm sorry to say that it didn't work out. The thing is that it started so well, with the echoes of the first season, it looked like a decent investigation, but then everything got complicated, overly complicated and in the end the twist put a halt to everything. Neither Sherlock nor Watson had the best scene, but rather their borrowed dog.

The first episode of the fourth season was a great example of how to turn a great series into a ridiculous farce. The idea with Mary Bond-Watson didn't work for me anymore at the end of the third season, this time it smelled like a disaster, and I eventually got what I expected. I won't get rid of that stupidity with the aquarium for a long time. 2*
