One sentence synopsis: it's BBC's Sherlock but in his original 19th century setting.
One sentence trailer thoughts: the more I watch this, the more I like it.
Expanded thoughts: watching this gives the rare sensation of watching an amazing fanfic of BBC's Sherlock series, but back to its Victorean roots... and then realizing that it is actually produced by the BBC and switching to "holy shit I can't believe this is happening" mode. This series has been a weird ride, considering how insanely popular it has been, how LONG the waits are from one "season" to the other, and then how it actually fills up one of those long interludes with this Conan Doylish version of Sherlock Holmes.
I'm digging it. Wasn't really through the first watch, but the second and third really got me.
Expectations: high, but measured; even this has a "coming soon" tag that's as good as a warning not to hold your breath waiting for this.
