The Hounds of Baskerville Ratings & Reviews
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
So, another fun episode, if perhaps more interesting on the character side than the plot side.
TV Equals
Candice Grace
I think overall, with the exception of the thoroughly boring first fifteen minutes, I sort of liked it, despite something being 'off'.
Den of Geek
Louisa Mellor
Just as you'd expect from horror aficionado Mark Gatiss, the episode was well-schooled in the genre, with plenty of freaking out and jumping at shadows.
Radio Times
David Butcher
Mark Gatiss's The Hounds of Baskerville has its shaggy-dog moments but it certainly opens in style.
Nerdist
Kyle Anderson
The mystery of the episode is not as twisty or convoluted as A Scandal in Belgravia had been, but it works wonderfully as a character piece, as both of our leads deal with fear of the unknown and the unreliable.
Empire Magazine
John Nugent
The most famous story from the original books is not quite the most famous episode in the BBC retelling, often resorting to jump scares and other horror tropes.
Collider
Kayti Burt
Ultimately, the Hound of Baskerville is a fun, memorable episode of Sherlock that isn't overly ambitious, but tells an entertaining, grounded story.
What Culture
Oscar Harding
It was a smart move to get horror writer extraordinaire Mark Gatiss to tackle this particular episode, and it isn't without merit. However, it rambles a lot rather than setting an atmosphere, which is surprising with Paul McGuigan as its director.
Culturess
Lacy Baugher
Unfortunately, the Sherlock adaptation of the famous mystery is solidly middle of the pack. As the show's first real foray into telling a horror story, it does some things very right, and some things... not.
Screen Rant
Jack O'Regan
If adapting The Hounds of Baskerville to the modern day setting was the name of the game, then Gatiss succeeds across the board, but the plot itself doesn't quite live up to the hype.
Tor.com
Emily Asher-Perrin
The mystery was indeed a lot easier to guess at this week, but that didn't prevent this episode from being an absolute delight.
TV Fanatic
The show has tremendous art direction and attention to detail, and I particularly like Watson's military-inspired jackets.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Serena Davies
The Hounds of Baskerville took the most famous of all Sherlock Holmes stories, gave the original title just the smallest of tweaks, then had its wicked way with the rest of the tale.
IGN Movies
Chris Tilly
Sherlock kicked off with a humdinger of an episode, but unfortunately followed it with an installment that was passable on its own merits, but inferior in every way, shape and form when compared with its predecessor.
Guardian
Sam Wollaston
The whole middle section, where Watson stormed off in a huff... felt slow and flat precisely because there was none of the chemistry between the two leads that we've come to expect from Sherlock.
AV Club
John Teti
This is an uncharacteristically poor outing for the program, which is especially disappointing given how brief the seasons are and how little Sherlock we get to enjoy already.
