And wow did it start off great! Revisiting the first episode almost word-for-word, except in 1890. I personally didn't enjoy that but I let it slide considering I could't remember half the stuff in previous episodes anyway. Metaphors aside, the episode started off with a "previously on Sherlock" display just in case we forgot what happened in the long. However, like recent Doctor Who episodes, a firework display was advertised whilst the equivalent of lighting a BBQ being delivered.

With all the hype that drives one of the BBC's most popular franchise, it's realistic to expect a high standard for a special episode set in 1890, the "classic Sherlock era". Reviewed by Iridium_077 5 / 10 / 10 Mediocre compared to what was promised.
