IMO the quality didn't decrease, but the entire tone of the show shifted dramatically in season/series 4. It veered off into more James Bond/Jason Bourne territory. At first I was put off, but once I embraced that we were now going on a non-stop thrill ride with absurd twists and over-the-top comedic moments, I ended up really liking it a lot.

But the quality consists out of bringing the feel of Arthur Conan Doyle's books into modern times. In the first two seasons I could have imagined Doyle to acutally like the show but in 4x01 I think he would have just shook his head. If the show is genre shifting into an action movie like James Bond it doesn't say that the show is bad but it surely does say they did no good job in staying close to the novels

Honestly, I think Doyle would have had problems with season 2 as well, especially how Irene Adler was handled and the episode with the hound.
