For me, this series had everything. I grew up reading and watching Sherlock Holmes stories. The characters are ingrained in my life story. But the writing and character studies here are the best I have encountered. The grit and reality of the way Sherlock is portrayed gives true representation of how I think he should be seen. It shows the dichotomy of man at his darkest and at his best. Thank you to Mark and Steven for this fresh and intelligent series. A must see for every generation..
