I've watched episodes, though I don't like it as well as Elementary (my BVC blog subject today, as it happens!) for two reasons: one, more interesting women in Elementary, and also I much prefer its Holmes.

There is clever writing in Sherlock, and I adore the Watson, and the cinematography and editing is brilliant, but Cumberbatch is a shade too smug, and there is sometimes a kind a slick heartlessness that I don't get in the other show.
