6. The Final Problem – 8%
Season four’s finale ‘The Final Problem’ might act as the end of the whole show, but some fans weren’t convinced by it. It has, however, managed a pretty impressive sixth place on our poll. Hundreds of you thought the tale of Sherlock and Mycroft’s evil sister Euros was the best episode ever of the show.
5. The Great Game – 8%
Just 11 votes higher than ‘The Final Problem’ is season one’s finale ‘The Great Game.’ The episode – which sees the first appearance of Jim Moriarty – has always been a fan favourite. In our 2015 poll, it came in at 4th place and has now only slipped down to fifth, which is quite impressive considering four more episodes have arrived since then.
4. A Study in Pink – 9%
The first ever episode of Sherlock is now regarded highly by fans. In our previous poll, ‘A Study in Pink’ was only sixth but has risen in your estimations in the meantime, just like ‘The Blind Banker.’ This fits in with our theory that fans might think of season one more fondly than they did two years ago.
Wow.. Why did everybody hate The Six thatchers??
And I’m really surprised how all my favourite episodes, except Reichenbachfall, are on the lower places (The Empty Hearse, Hounds of baskerville, The Abominable Bride).

Same here. Really surprised. I understand the ranking for the Hounds of Baskerville, but come on! The Abominable Bride wasn’t that bad! It was great!

Oh and I forgot to add that I am really surprised (shocked) by the first place. I really don’t understand why ASIB is so popular? For me it felt rather dull and boring. The Reichenbachfall just is and stays the best episode ever!

I don’t either… but the “I am Sherlocked” part was really awesome. Maybe it was simply that part that won over the fans…

Could be. Especially because this “I am Sherlocked” is pretty much our catch phrase.

Yeah – it has to be Reichenbach surely? And then Lying detective…

Also confused by ASIB being in first place. Definitely belongs in the top 5, but The Reichenbach Fall is easily the best episode of Sherlock to date.
