SherlockRating: 5 likes, 2 dislikes Sherlock is a great show with very fun characters. Like him or hate him Holmes has a great mind yet has very little social grace. He tends to be rude and snooty making him hated by most of the law enforcement he is helping. But even with that they cannot turn down the help of this genius has to offer. John is excited by the adventure almost as much as Holmes making there friendship strong. Yet he is ever annoyed by Holmes' tart manner making for a good laugh throughout the program.
