First at all this metal fence in front of Sherlocks house

the front stairs are completly different. Also notice that Sherlocks taste in women completly changed. He never had sex with a black haired tattooed punk woman again in the later seasons

Glass doors?

Apparently Sherlock had a bed at one point of the story

What the hell is that kitchen?! Seriously the kitchen is my fav room of the whole house and hurts me to see it like this.

I allways wonder what the exact reason for letting Sherlocks and Joan first conversation start like that. 

Was it a) to show us that this “love at first sight” is a dumb cliché movie trope that they will not use foe Joan and Sherlock?

I’ve been spoiled for some things but not others. Assume I’m unspoiled when you ask me about this.

Jonny Lee Miller is an interesting take on Holmes, and his vulnerability is shown right from the first episode, which I found interesting. His peppiness is offset by a hot temper, and even though he’s pretty emotional, he’s still Sherlock Holmes through and through. Easy to see he’s got a different character arc. On a not entirely unrelated note, I want to see him and Benedict’s Frankenstein movie/play/thing. Should I go for Victorbatch or Creaturebatch?

Lucy Liu’s Joan Watson, like Martin Freeman’s John, is clearly not second banana here, and she’s just as interesting as other Watsons, just in a different way. Looking forward to her character arc/backstory. How did her patient die?

The doctor guy is a creep. I was sickened by the way he drove his patient to murder his wife. Not near as bad as CAM, but still. Not cool, dude.

The baseball scene was funny.

The writing was a little predictable, but it’s got more time to develop and find its feet, not being restricted to three ninety-minute episodes every two years. Perhaps I’ve spent too much time on TVTropes, or perhaps it feels like a lot of CBS dramas out there.

I liked that it goes back to the books and takes enough so that while it’s still Sherlock Holmes in the 21st Century, it’s not a Sherlock ripoff--the beehives and Tobias Gregson, for example. There’s enough material for CBS writers to put their own unique stamp on the characters.

Now I want to see what Holmes’ dad is like.

I liked that while the one cop was skeptical about Holmes, he realizes, “OK, he’s pretty smart, maybe I should listen to him.”

Overall, the characters are well-acted, the writing isn’t totally predictable, and Miller and Liu aren’t forgettable and have good chemistry. The cinematography and the music are nothing to write home about, but Sherlock has spoiled me. I really, really, REALLY hope that Holmes and Watson don’t become a couple. If they do, I will be unhappy.
