Contrary to popular opinion I actually quite liked this episode (except the CGI dog ofc, that was the shits), it had a nice touch to it and it was nice to see the guys out of London.
Not the strongest in the series. Could have been better if only John and Sherlock were given a room with only one bed - I made my point.
Such a bad episode. Dumb premise, the dude who brings them into the case is annoying, and the conclusion is wholly unsatisfying.
It's weird that the second episodes of both S1 and S2 are easily the worst. I'd say this one is the worst of the whole show... but then S4 exists. I've only ever seen those once, so I'll reserve judgment for now.
EDIT: Nah, S4E3 easily takes the cake. Good job, Hounds of Baskerville, you are no longer the worst episode.
It may be a veryyy unpopular opinion, but this show is one giant STRETCH. And a jumbled one at that.
So, Sherlock took the case (the main objective of which I’m still trying to figure out) simply because the client said it was the footsteps of a massive hound? And then, out of nowhere, H. O. U. N. D. is suddenly a thing and this secret group doing secret experiments also happened to have t-shirts made? I just cannot.
This series is so frustrating to watch, because Cumberbatch is fantastic but the mysteries are so convoluted. All the connections are preposterous and the resolutions are far from satisfying to me. I feel like the story tries (and maybe even succeeds) to appear as something brilliant, when it’s merely a bunch of nonsense strung together.
Also, they are doing a horrible job of building up Moriarty as a big bad! Am I the only one who thinks so?! Where exactly was he at the end of this episode? Did I miss something?? And why exactly is he so obsessed/infuriated with Sherlock? Another plot point that feels forced.
I truly don’t understand all the high praise, and I’m still waiting for an episode to wow me and make clear-cut, impressive sense. Fingers crossed.
God I hated this episode. Was ridiculous from start to finish and barely used the best parts of Sherlock
Amazing episode. Knocked off a star for the cheesy dog CGI.
Thiss Sherlock Holmes slowly becomes my favourite tv character.Not the best episode but funny with Cumberbatch's best perfomance so far.
