      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Beautifully written, deliciously twisty, and tragically mortifying, "The Reichenbach Fall" ends the season two finale with a cat and mouse game between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty that will leave viewers speechless.

      Alan Sepinwall Uproxx Benedict Cumberbatch did a terrific job showing the man beneath the legend throughout the closing half of this season finale. Apr 8, 2019 Full Review John Nugent Empire Magazine The BBC update transposes this famous showdown to the roof of a London hospital, but retains the key elements: Sherlock's reputation ruined, he is forced into an almost-literal cliffhanger ending. Apr 6, 2019 Full Review Sarah Crompton Daily Telegraph (UK) Cumberbatch revealed just how good an actor he is. All series he has been magnificently mean, moody and far too clever for his own good. Now, facing a madman and his own demise, he made Sherlock palpably human. Rated: 4/5 Feb 17, 2017 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher There are a lot of ways in which this was 90 brilliant minutes of television drama, but the first way in which it's brilliant is the opening moments. Apr 8, 2019 Full Review David Butcher Radio Times [The Reichenbach Fall is] full of mind games and conundrums and laugh-out-loud reaction shots and twists it wouldn't do even to hint at. Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist As explosive as The Great Game was last year, series 2's finale, The Reichenbach Fall, is three times as devastating, both to the characters and to the audience.
