Sherlock will not be an show which engages all. The often leisure like pacing, intricate narratives, and exposition heavy storytelling may turn off fans of more action oriented television

However my experiences watching Sherlock can be best described as simply 'breathtaken". The chemistry between Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, the various engaging plots which demand you to keep coming back for more, despite the exceptionally procedural nature of the series, and the witty writing which makes you simultaneously cheer, laugh, and cry, all make Sherlock an spectacularly enjoyable series. The series isn't perfect. Some episodes are less interesting then others. If you are to be entranced as a viewer by episode such as The Reichenbach Fall, and His Final Vow, there are a few less intriguing and somewhat dull episodes of Sherlock you unfortunately have to sit through, but even the worst sherlock episodes provide enough enjoyment to justify sitting through them.
