Why Sherlock?

• characters: the relationship between SH and JW is interesting, two people who seem almost  polar opposites, one relaxed, calm and wears cardigans, the other is a genius with boredom issues, someone with almost no social ability, yet, both characters have hidden depths, JW served in Afghanistan, and Sherlock can form meaningful relationships with other people, probably thanks to his interactions with John.
• historical Re-booting: I quite enjoy reboots and re-tellings, so its probably not too surprising that I enjoy Sherlock, a modified, modernized version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's great consulting detective.
