Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn this episode, the modernised Sherlock catchphrase "The Game is on!" is rendered back to the original "The Game is afoot."
- GoofsWhen we see the groom for the first time, he exits a building with Chinese characters to the left of the doorway. The characters used are from the simplified character set which is not possible for 1890s London as it was first introduced by the government of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s. However, it is revealed that the entire Victorian London is in the head (mind palaces) of modern Sherlock, so anachronisms can be dismissed as him applying modern themes.
- Quotes
Dr. John Watson: [being furious with Sherlock] I'm an army doctor, which means I could break every bone in your body while naming them.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Masterpiece Mystery: Sherlock: The Abominable Bride (2016)
Featured review
Largely entertaining
Very different from the episodes that precede it but still very enjoyable and well worth watching. I was looking forward to this episode for a full year and I was not disappointed. Now only another year plus until the 4th season...if I overdose now I should be able to sleep until then. Don't go into this expecting to be blown away. The cinematic intensity of the 9 episodes its elder is not present. The depth and complexity of the plot are less structured. However, even though it's not quite up to par with Sherlock episodes of days past, it is still superior to the majority of television programs and I would say enjoyable enough to watch more than once.
