	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"I think this final episode of 'Sherlock' – a ceaseless flow of wit, invention and intelligence – was perfect."	POS
United Kingdom	Serena Davies Telegraph	"'Sherlock’s last, dark chapter in 2014 was the best of the lot (...) Moffat gets the wary dance between plot and character just right; rarely messing up the steps, never coming to a standstill. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Neela Debnath The Independent	"At the risk of trying to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with plenty of plot twists, the conclusion of 'His Last Vow' seems to have done the opposite."	NEG
United States	AV Club	"The hyper-meta thematic and characterization soup takes on a certain forensic appeal (...) It ultimately comes off as calculated, and more pleased with itself than invested in the characters it supposedly follows"	NEU
United States	Vulture	"'Sherlock' returned to peak form (...) It’s a fitting finale (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
