1992 Baker Street is good fun.
It did have some clever points, I thought Sherlock was too novel in his adaptation to the new technology, I did like the Moriarty Bros. I think I accept the one off approaches better than the direct adaptations that get it wrong like the new Sherlock Holmes (and Bond) movies .

Watched His Last Vow last night on catch-up. Towards the end, Mycroft says something like "As my colleague is fond of saying, Britain needs a blunt instrument, but she also needs a scalpel". Which raises the intriguing possibility that Sherlock and Bond inhabit the same fictional universe. Perhaps those jokes about Bond seeing Sherlock on the rooftop at the end of Skyfall were true after all.

Sherlock was fun. But there were so many twists - it was like watching the classic Star Trek TNG episode Frame of Mind.

Sherlock is a good series to stick with. Elementary on the other hand is the CR-egg reboot of the Sherlock Holmes franchise.
