Review in "The New Yorker" Magazine
Here's a great review:
For people not familiar with The New Yorker, it's a weekly highbrow magazine known both for its longform articles on serious topics and its cartoons. It also has extensive sections of reviews of arts and cultural happenings.

Re: Review in "The New Yorker" Magazine
At last someone who 'gets' the 'love story' aspect for what it really is. Wonderful review!

Re: Review in "The New Yorker" Magazine
I know I'm late, but this was such a nicely written New Yorker review by Emily Nussbaum.
One wonders her additional thoughts had she written this after episode 3. 
Some of my favorite quotes:
"Mostly, though, they’re a god and a mortal, mutually besotted— the most impossible love affair of all."
"Holmes sees connections but can’t connect. He’s like a Google algorithm, if it were sexy and wore dashing wool coats."
The Empty Hearse:
"a coded confession of its own status as fan fiction."
The Sign of Three:
"what Watson is to Holmes: inverts the central love dynamic an episode about Sherlock Holmes as a fan—the god stooping to praise the human."
