Admittedly, I have read the Sherlock stories (and their predecessors the Auguste C. Dupin mysteries of Edgar Allen Poe) and thoroughly enjoyed them. In fact, I believe it was Anthony Horowitz, the author of the first Sherlock Holmes novel authorized by the SACD estate who said that a Holmes mystery should be so complex in its simplicity that when the "answer" is finally revealed, there is a sense of satisfaction in the elegance along with the feeling that "I should have seen that", but DIDN'T.

Sadly, in these episodes I DID see that... sometimes half an hour to 45 minutes before the end and even more depressingly, before Holmes.

In fact, on two occasions I found myself saying "oh, I know the answer", nodding off for 20 minutes and awakening to find that Holmes was just now discovering the culprit.

If you consider yourself "clever" and like the stories for the puzzles they offer, you won't enjoy the show as it offers none. If you're interested in it for the homage it pays to SACD and his characters, then it's a fun reimagining, if sadly dumbed down for modern audiences.
