Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe storyline quickly departs from the events of the opening scenes, which encompass a 1922 short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In "The Problem of Thor Bridge," a woman dies after being shot on a bridge, and the clues point to one person as the murderer. Sherlock's investigation reveals that the dead woman had arranged her own suicide solely to frame someone for her "murder."
- GoofsWhen Sherlock and Watson are in the kitchen talking, Watson puts the kettle on the hob, then gets a mug out and puts it on the counter. Several times when the camera pans back to Watson the mug has moved to the opposite side of her mobile phone, then back again.
- Quotes
Captain Thomas Gregson: Everybody? Listen up. It has come to my attention that there's some of you that aren't thrilled the way some things are done around here, think I've given our consultants a little too much sway. Some friends of mine wanted to let me know before it was too late to right the ship. And I appreciate that. We've got a mission here. It's to protect this city and the citizens that live in it. You are all part of that effort every day. Most of you do yourselves and this department proud, and for that, I want to thank you. But if anybody has a problem with how I utilize *all* the tools at my disposal, be it Holmes and Watson, or the coffee machine... there's the door. Back to work.

When faced with a terrible film or TV sode, it is easy to share the problems. To a seasoned reviewer (some might say an overcooked reviewer)the flaws fall trippingly off the tongue.
However with a quality show we become spoiled. Our expectations are high to start with, so we accept the quality without question.
Which is unfair.
This episode from 2013 had no prior reviews which is a shame. It is wonderful. Holmes and Watson not only bang heads with a dangerous psychopath (always fun) but also with an ego-driven police detective who gives the duo a chance to explore their relationship in more depth than we saw in season one.
Entertaining and engaging.
