The stories and the plot has been developed very well to fit modern standards and to make it a new story rather than the old Sherlock Holmes stories and films. Gripping it is along with very intelligent camera work and scripting. The edit is commendable and the direction is good which is topped by high class acting skills. A few episodes could have been made a lot better because after seeing them, I was constantly shaking my head saying that the book of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle expressed it better and somehow it has lingered on till date.
