That, my friends, was beyond television. Maybe one movie a year (maybe!) comes out as good as this Sherlock episode. I am embarrassed to say that I've seen this only now in 2015, and my God, I'm still shaking. This is my first ever review on IMDb, bear with me..
The story, the acting, the editing, the music, the atmosphere, the scenery and camera angles, the twists and turns.. This movie/episode had all 10/10. There was not a single moment that I got bored or distracted. And it's not only the excitement; it's how every little piece in the story links to each other, the details, the emotions... If you pay attention, even the background music evolves during the whole episode, starting with just unplugged sounds from Sherlock's violin; and ending with a whole-out orchestra as the story concludes. Which movie does that???!!!
Thank you, whoever involved in this production. Seriously.
