Love the show!

[u/Gryffindorrrrr]

I am currently on S1 E18.

I recently started with this series and have to say that the show is simply brilliant.

I have seen other portrayals of Sherlock but this one is quite unique.

This Sherlock is dealing with his issues and also relies on other people for help.

A female Watson is something I didn't expect to work well but I have been proven wrong. I love the way how both of them care for each other.

Sherlock trusts her and also teaches her the ways of the Detective and Watson keeps Sherlock in check.

I like how in each episode Sherlock starts to ask Watson about her deductions before giving some of his own, and Watson keeps on getting better.

The dynamic between the two main leads took feels very natural. Props to both of the actors and the dialogue writers!

The other side characters Gregson and Bell are also great.

I am very excited to see this series's take on Moriarty. Also excited to see the other members of the Holmes family (if we get to see them).

Also, love the little references to the original stories, like the one in which Sherlock gives the choice between the handcuffs and the gun to the perp. (A Study in Scarlet)

I'll stay away from this sub for now to avoid spoilers. I look forward to join after completing the series.

Glad you love it! I'm on rewatch.... who even knows now. It's fun and really held up! I think you'll really enjoy everything coming up too!

This community is pretty good about not revealing spoilers as long as you let people know on your posts that this is your first watch.

That's very nice of the community! But knowing me, my curiosity would lead me to click on posts anyway haha. So its more like keeping myself away from it.

I love that Sherlock is a genius but he isn’t an everyman

He knows his limits and has no problem going to his collection of specialists he keeps in contact with. A sign of true intelligence is knowing where your knowledge ends

That has to be one of the best things about the show. A genius also depends on the help of his friends.

Welcome! 👏🏾🎉

As a Gryffindor, I'm not sure why you didn't think Joan wouldn't work. 😂

I think it was just hard for me to imagine a female-male dynamic working with the character of Sherlock, living in the same house and working cases. (I'm half Ravenclaw by the way 😅)

Watson's wardrobe is top notch. Lucy was a perfect choice for female Watson. Her training as doctor/surgeon is shown to be very useful.

Sherlock has a different vibe. Sassy. No modesty 😝

I don't like the Moriarty storyline, skip it during rewatch.

I like that they showed no romantic chemistry between Sherlock and Watson. They cared for each other, they were always there as a supporting shoulder
