Sherlock Holmes examine un cas concernant des lettres volées à une dignitaire britannique, lady Smallwood. Il est bientôt confronté à un redoutable maître chanteur, Charles Augustus Magnussen, un magnat de la presse particulièrement abject. Celui-ci est un manipulateur aguerri qui réussit à assujettir ses victimes grâce à des « points de pression ». Il tente d'utiliser ce procédé pour s'en prendre à Holmes mais sans succès. Après avoir séduit l'assistante de Magnussen, Sherlock, accompagné par Watson, entre par effraction dans ses bureaux... (France Télévisions Distribution)

The plot of the third episode seemed a bit overcomplicated to me, but still, it was the best episode of the third season. However, I still feel like I may have overrated this part a little because some of the creators' ideas bothered me, and at times it seemed like they were just grasping at straws. 4*

The villain is great. Disgusting, slimy, cunning. He could have been a worthy opponent for Sherlock, if the creators wanted him to be. But they didn't. It’s like they gave up on having any tension and replaced it with humor that is far from always effective, exchanging Sherlock's believable deductions for absolutely unbelievable thought processes (if in the last episode of the second season you found his search for an abandoned chocolate factory to be ridiculous, this time you will be force to take a sedative), they mix various supporting characters into the story, which are either as ingenious as Sherlock or as stupid as Lestrade, the plot is overly complicated in order to hide its shortcomings... And in the middle of it all, Watson stumbles around helplessly, which you can easily empathize with. And the final solution? I was surprised, but not in the way I would have liked.
