I've been thinking about your comment all day, particularly why I'm still so drawn to this show. While I like those classic adaptations (I'm listening to a radio series at the moment), I'm really drawn to the idea of a modern Sherlock, who doesn't have the distance a Victorian character gives us. I want someone who can get a bit gritty, and who is clever for his age in a way that still feels very clever. I also think the shows, even the latest ones, are very well done from a production level, and think a lot of the humor and characterization and the sort is very absorbing. I like it.
I also hate that I like it, particularly this final series. it just didn't tell a story worth hearing, and if it had it had the tools for greatness. Which is just beyond frustrating. So I do sympathize with people who choose not to watch, or simply don't understand it. 9There is quite a bit to absorb.)
