What Did You Think of Sherlock: The Final Problem?

And that’s it. Sherlock Series 4 is over, I’m sad to say.
The three-episode season concluded last night with The Final Problem, named after the Arthur Conan Doyle-penned original short story, which saw Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty plummeting over the Reichenbach Falls.
No doubt, many fans will have cried enough tears to rival the water at Reichenbach. Yep, for Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch), John Watson (Martin Freeman), and Mycroft Holmes (Mark Gatiss), it’s certainly not a game anymore, as they came across Eurus (Siân Brooke), and one or two surprises…
But was it all a lot more fun when it was just a game? Or do you prefer your Sherlock darker? Let us know by voting in the poll below.


Voted? Thanks! We’d also like to know your general thoughts on The Final Problem: was it a worthy finale for Series 4? Were you expecting more? Did it blow your expectations away? Was it a letdown after The Lying Detective‘s shocking cliffhanger? Or did it live up to the hype?
Comment in the appropriate section below, and we’ll collate your thoughts together soon…
