Just two. I'm not sure if it's a popular opinion that they're dull, but the people who I know think so are Watson fangirls :)

I think it's a pretty widespread opinion? But that might just be because Christopher Morley said so in the introduction that was in the edition that I read when I was a kid - "Rashly, in the later years, Holmes twice undertook to write stories for himself. They have not quite the same magic." Gosh, that was a great introduction.

The thing is, it's not just that they're lacking in Watson, they're also very late stories from the period when the quality had unfortunately dropped a bit in general. So they might still have been kind of dull even with Watson.
