Brief Synopsis:
An edit combining the final two episodes of series four, "The Lying Detective" and "The Final Problem"
It's not a game anymore. Sherlock, John and Mycroft engage of an emotional battle of wits not just with Sherlock's maniacal and manipulative sister Euros, but with one another as well. From the pitfalls of drug addiction to the boasts of seemingly untouchable media darlings to three heart-wrenching words on the end of a phone conversation. The lies mount up, leading to our heroes reaching a moment of definitive truth. Context is everything.

-Pre-credits of Final Problem used to bridge the gap between Lying Detective and The Final Problem.

I good finale for the Sherlock fan edits! Overall I truly enjoyed the film. But one thing I didn't like is how it ended after the line "it is what it is". I felt that it ended abruptly, but maybe it's just me.

Thanks for this trimmed conclusion of the fourth season of Sherlock. As with Sherlock: The Little That Remains/Adventure of CAM, Zarius continues the flawless editing and removes what needs removing in order to present a coherent and entertaining finale, without losing the narrative. Nothing to remark, except a noticeable cross-fade (which I guess connects the episodes). Otherwise a stellar edit that will play nice with theryaney's and ranger613's edits of the earlier seasons.
Great work!

Spot on. Zarius has once again hit the mark with this stellar edit combination of the two final episodes of Sherlock's season 4. Every cut is unnoticeable and well done. I love all the cuts and trims made to get rid the fat to get to the importance of the plot and our characters. An epic conclusion to a loosely connected quadrilogy too, if you include ranger613's and my edits, of condensing Sherlock into feature length movies. Only one transition where Sherlock's words fade into the next audio cue was tue downside, but even then, you could still hear what he said, and it still stayed a beautiful moment. The bridging of the two episodes as well is pretty smooth.
This was a blast, and I applaud Zarius for achieving a great quality with his edits. Outstanding work, mate! ;)
