Sherlock is one of the few shows that doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence.
It also hold a record you won't find on any award show: It's gotten me to write. I'm dyslexic, I hate writing, and I have a hard time putting things into words. I failed nearly every English class I ever took. Yet, I currently have 3 Sherlock episodes in progress, and my proofreaders say they're really good!

My sister used to swear by this show and wonder why I didn’t watch it (I have cable and she doesn’t, plus I hate PBS). Anyway, I finally gave in and watched on Netflix. You are absolutely right - it is smart, quietly funny at times, and just a pleasure to watch compared to other BS on tv these days.
Amazon has two seasons and season three is available for pre order.
