Amazing show. I was wondering what the fuss is all about until I started watching it, then I just couldn't stop.

this and the torchwood mini series, up there as the best shows ever and shame they are so short in season length :( i miss you benedict!

Absolutely one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's always fun to watch it can't wait for the 4th season and I'm 100% sure that it's gonna be awesome.

I've not seen anything *surpass* this series. The ostensible commitment not to release even one minute that does not stand up to extreme scrutiny over its worthiness has resulted in this being my long-standing high-bar for truly consistently perfectly considered execution. Beyond the deliberateness / perfectionism that most uniquely sets it apart from other creations, though… It notably excels in not only its demonstrated own intelligence (e.g., within the sharpness of the devised plots), but also in its successful *communication* of the deftness of its *characters*. If you thrive on the authentic or impressive depiction of strategy, skill, intellect, craft, domination, or fatally challenging competition, etc. (as found in television creations like Hannibal, Death Note, House M.D., Queen's Gambit, Code Geass, The Fall, among others), this show may be well-suited to your tastes.

I watched all the episodes in one week. This show is great! I wished we could've gotten more "real" Moriarty, though. He was the high point for me. Not all episodes made sense or felt right, which is a bummer, but all in all, a great show!
