NEW TLD REVIEW IN HEAT MAGAZINE
“well, they warned us it’d get dark, and as this episode, tantalisingly titled “the lying detective” unfolds, it’s clear this is, without doubt, the most chilling and creepy sherlock story so far. central villain culverton smith - played in stunning style by the great toby jones - has echoes of a certain real-life serial offender: a famous and wealthy figure so powerful and seemingly unassailable, he even gets the keys to the hospitals he helps fund. and sherlock knows he’s hiding his evilness in plain sight. less of a whodunit and more of a will-he-get-away-with-it, this breathtakingly intense episode climaxes WITH A TWIST THAT TRULY PULLS THE RUG FROM UNDER US”
also, the hospital he helps fund - obviously links to the scenes of the nurses walking along and john sitting in front of the hospital bed.
5 stars holy shit
I am going to be ill if this guy is another Jimmy Saville. That is like the one road I did not want them to go down, and the one thing I’ve been fearing since that deleted scene with Magnussen in HLV, which was then compounded by TAB... Sigh...
