Critics respond differently the finale of the fourth season.

Michael Hogan wrote in the Daily Telegraph that “if it was the most recent series, which is certainly not the case, as a finale it would have worked.”.

“In Sunday’s episode has all the elements that a modern reincarnation of the old stories became a hit, but there are also what opinions are divided,” writes Hogan, who gave “the Last problem” the highest rating of five points and called it “a race full of thrills”.

However Christopher Stevens of the Daily Mail is not awarded a series of no stars and called it “pathetic, chaotic and very unpleasant confusion”, “shockingly bad” and “nonsense, full of narcissism”.

“If you woke up this morning with a sense of anger over the fact that you have taken away the evening entertainment, I completely agree with you about the feeling of betrayal. “Sherlock” was, to put it simply, the most pointless, long-winded a TV product that I ever had to watch,” wrote Stevens.

the First episode of the fourth season of the series was watched by 1 January more than 11 million people when you consider not only the audience of television, but those who have watched it on demand. It was the biggest audience for the entire festive period in Britain.
