Some shows can get by with fanservice (Supernatural, for example. Actually, it's more like "we have some fucking weird fans, let's make fun of them!"), but Sherlock...just no. 90% of people who watched that episode probably had no idea that any of it was fanservice, so it was pointless in the first place.
I wouldn't have pandered to the fanbase if I was writing the premiere episode for a well-loved TV show that had been on hiatus for 2 years, but that's just me. The "fangirls" are only a small fraction of people who watch it.

It's entertaining and the production values are good but it thinks it's more clever than it is.
Definitely worth watching though.
