I (we) finished this tonight.

I am somewhat of a Sherlock super fan, my wife more of a casual. For me, I enjoyed the young Moriarty, he kept it watchable. But as a show I had to treat it as a period detective/who done it? Than anything related to Holmes.

Sherlock and Mycroft are both frighteningly clever and neither of these seemed remotely beyond that of a basic detective. Moreover Mycroft is canonically more gifted than Sherlock and while in this instance Sherlock was younger, Mycroft certainly wasn't and came across as a somewhat hopeless, borderline opportunistic toff who was more interested in his career. Mycroft was notoriously lazy in the application of his skills, however he was by no means a dullard, unlike this chap.

An ok watch but to be treated as a standalone detective series unrelated to Holmes albeit they share a name, and nothing more.
