Not nearly as ingenious as "A scandal in Belgravia", but nevertheless a refreshing adaptation of Conan Doyle's "The hound of the Baskervilles". The episode kicked off with its usual degree of intrigue and tension, maintained over the majority of the episode. Cumberbatch's portrayal of the enigmatic Sherlock Holmes was excellent as always, sharp but quirky. Moffat's storyline was a little overboard but he still managed to maintain its intoxicating appeal and keep it beyond the realms of impossibility.
However, the director appeared to have gotten a bit too carried away with his attempts at building suspense while the story conclusion left me feeling a bit cheated. No spoilers, to me, the episode was a solid 8-9 out of 10.
