A mysterious cipher is being scrawled on the walls around London. The first person to see the cipher is dead within hours of reading it.

Not really thrilling like Pink. But still nice! God bless Cumberbatch two~

I noticed that several people found this episode distasteful or lacking. Yes, compared to A Study in Pink it is not as strong, but A Study in Pink was more of a character driven episode, whereas The Blind Banker focuses more on the exotic adventure that Doyle loved so much. What isn't to love about death traps and Chinese acrobats? The absurdity works here.

A bit disappointing after how good the first episode was. The "bad guys" were really cliche which is a stark contrast to the villain in the first episode who was a very original and well thought out character.

    Agreed. I lost interest in the series and almost didn't watch the third episode. Someone on mubi told me to stick with it, and I'm glad I did. Based on what you wrote, I'd guess you'd like the next episode.

The worst of the first three episodes. Being Chinese, I think the whole premise is hilariously bad. But the climax really takes the cake for absurdity: do people think Chinese villains cart that arrow thing around?
