The big day of Watson's wedding arrives.
This is an enjoyable and somewhat sentimental episode with great comedy.
The plot is quite loose in structure and is seemingly all geared towards the jokes until the central mystery reveals itself. The opening scene sets the tone well for what is to follow. I found the outcome quite easy to predict, but how it unfolds is pretty good.
I can see how Arthur Conan-Doyle purists and people who take their murder mysteries seriously may struggle with the tone and structure, but I found it all very entertaining.
Easily the biggest draw is the performance of Benedict Cumberbatch. He has plenty of humorous material and delivers it in his typical sonorous way with great timing and energy.
It does get a bit sentimental at times, which provides a certain feel good factor, but for me it goes slightly over the top.
The visuals are as quirky as ever, with great cinematography, lighting, colour grading and general editing as always.
