Recently watched all of series one and series two on the constant encouragement of a friend. I liked a few of the modern takes of the old stories, but it seemed gimmicky most of the time. Loads of modern detective shows replicate old Holmes stories anyway, so I'm not entirely sure why a show set in the 21st century about an autistic jester and his grey flunky has to be called Sherlock Holmes when it has next to nothing else in common with the books. Rename the characters and they'd have gotten away with an unrelated title without many complaints.
On its own merit though it still doesn't even seem as good as, say, Luther. I can't see what all the fuss is about
