The show gives you insight into Sherlock's "mind palace" so that you think you know what's happening, and sometimes there are segments that are looked over, but in general, you are much more engaged in the mystery solving. Additionally, this show does a great job of making Sherlock and Watson more than just investigators. There is a personal drama woven throughout the mysteries, as well as moments of humor throughout.

Benedict Cumberbatch, as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman, as Dr. John Watson work very well together to create that contrast of characters, which of course contributes immensely to the show's success.

This show has many great, absolutely phenomenal moments but it also has many over-complicated ones, so don't miss any detail.
