Watched Sherlock: The Great Game (2010) by an author from letterboxd.com
Mycroft needs Sherlock's help, but a remorseless criminal mastermind puts Sherlock on a distracting crime-solving spree via a series of hostage human bombs through which he speaks.

It would be harsh to dismiss the previous two episodes as set-up for this one and yet…

This is fantastic TV. This one takes more pleasure in the solving than in the outcome and it’s all the better for it. Not least because we know what the outcome is going to be anyway.

If I had to pick a low point, though, it’d be some of the music. Yep, violins, I get it, but it’s just a bit one dimensional.

★★★★½
