I soldiered through the first episode. That is enough. This show is beyond stupid and the writing is not clever but childish. The acting might be ok but the casting bugs me out of my mind. It is too slow and boring.

They took all the bad things about the original work and kept it, then they took all the good things and changed them while in the process ruining them totally. The over the top stupidity, the total and utter incompetence of the police and all other people besides Sherlock. The highlighting of the gay theory that is completely irrelevant. And we are bombarded by idiotic criminal masterminds of epic proportions straight from the start - Bond villains incoming for the stupid and drooling.

As a Sherlock Holmes this is really horrible. As a random British murder mystery this still is very bad. Are we supposed to believe that the British police can't think about searching for a murder victims phone at all AND that the killer just keeps it on and with him not at all worried about getting found that way?? Who nitwit wrote this dribble?
