IMHO. 'Miss Sherlock' ~ miss sher locked?

A high-functioning sociopath meets a compassionate and devoted commoner and learns about the world of feelings while the latter becomes sharper and more discerning.
When will the list of mystery dramas based on this concept end? Probably never because it's supposed to be fun. And the gist of this fun is supposed to be the strange charisma of the detective which Yuko Takeuchi brazenly lacks, and their interaction with the partner - which Shihori cannot sustain because there is so little to be involved in. Even though Shihori on her own was okay. Even though Yuko was looking extremely attractive every single moment of the series.
The new take on Mrs. Hudson, Mycroft, Lestrade and his subordinate, and just everyone around them is very enjoyable, but what's with this indifference from the main two characters multiplied by absolute apathy of the writers who created criminals who remain unfound despite touching their weapon with bare hands, flat characters of victims who start shouting suddenly as if it's the only way to show their grief, the writers who send a woman to rest at home after she had been tortured with electricity, the writers who could only come up with these contrived explanations for the crimes?

Oh please if you had money on that wonderful wardrobe of Sherlock's, you could as well spend them on a nice script and acting.

searching for clever lines ~ Sherlock

season 1 episode 1

Sherlock and John
- You're a doctor. In fact, you're an army doctor.
- Yes.
- Any good?
- Very good.
- Seen lot of injuries, then. Violent deaths.
- Well, yes.
- Bit of trouble, too, I bet.
- Of course. Enough for a lifetime, far too much.
- Want to see some more?
- Oh, god, yes.
Lestrade and Sherlock
- Who's this?
- He's with me.
- But who is he?
- I_said_he's_with_me.
John and Sherlock
- That's fantastic.
- Do you know you do that out loud?
- Sorry, I'll shut up.
- No, it's... fine.
- She said, you get off on this, you enjoy it.
- And I said "dangerous", and here you are.
Sherlock
- Anderson, don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street.
episode 2
John and Sherlock
- Did you like it?
- Um... no.
- Why not? I thought you'd be flattered.
- Flattered? 'Sherlock sees through everything and everyone in seconds. What's incredible, though, is how spectacularly ignorant he is about some things.'
- Hang on a minute, I didn't mean that...
- Oh, you meant 'spectacularly ignorant' in a nice way!
Sally and John
- You're still hanging around him.
- Yeah, well...
- Opposites attract,  I suppose.
- We're not...
- You should get yourself a hobby. Stamps, maybe. Model trains. Safer.
...
- Fishing! Try fishing!
John, Sherlock and Lestrade
- Fantastic.
- Meretricious.
- And a happy new year.
John and Sherlock
- Homeless network?
- My eyes and ears, all over the city.
- Oh, that's... clever. So, you scratch their backs, and...?
- Yes, then disinfect myself.
Moriarty and Sherlock
- You've come the closest. Now you're in my way.
- Thank you.
- Didn't mean it as a compliment.
- Yes, you did.
- Yeah, ok, I did.
episode 3
children, Sherlock and John
- They wouldn't let us see Granddad when he was dead. Is that 'cos he'd gone to heaven?
- People don't really go to heaven when they die, they're taken to a special room and burned.
- Sherlock!
John and Sherlock
- Punch you?
- Yes, punch me in the face. Didn't you hear me?
-  I always hear 'punch me' when you speak, but it's usually subtext.
- Don't do that.
- Do what?
- The look.
- Look?
- You're doing the look again.
- Well, I can't see it, can I? It's my face.
- Yes and you're doing a "We both know what's really going on here" face.
- We do.
- No, I don't, which is why I find the face so annoying.
Molly and Sherlock
- You're a bit like my dad. He's dead. No, sorry.
- Molly, please don't feel the need to make conversation, it's really not your area.
- When he was dying, he was always cheerful, he was lovely, except when he thought no-one could see. I saw him once, he looked sad.
- Molly.
- You look sad, when you think he can't see you.
Sherlock and John
- Alone is what I have. Alone protects me.
- No, friends protect people.
John and Mrs Hudson
- I have met someone.
- Oh! Ah, lovely.
- Yeah. We're getting married. Well, I'm going to ask, anyway.
- So soon after Sherlock?
-Hmm, well, yes.
- What's his name?
- It's a woman.
- A woman?!
- Yes, of course it's a woman.
- You really have moved on, haven't you?
- Mrs Hudson, how many times? Sherlock was not my boyfriend!
- Live and let live, that's my motto.
- Listen to me - I am not gay!
John
The thing about Mary, she has completely turned my life around. Changed everything. But, for the record, over the last few years there are two people who have done that, and the other one is... a complete dickhead.

Sherlock - finally reached my TV screen

hi, m'dear, I missed thee very much. what had taken thee so long?
my friend was assuring me this period would pass like a moment, and I would not remember how it had passed. I answered her - no, it would not. of course, I was right. it was nothing like a moment. it took a whole eternity to wait for the second season to come...
especially, that my life changed so much during this 1.5 years. I am not the same little girl who was watching the first three episodes. I am not a completely different person either, which might seem strange a bit
welcome back, Sherlock, the only thing which maketh me interested enough, apart from Zuka, being my only happiness for the last half a year...
the only thing which surprises me is... why is the 0 episode sometimes more funny than the 1st one, which was meant to be a replica of the 0, but should have been better, not more boring - just remember the scene in the restaurant with the cute Italian chef and the 'drunk' Sherlock (and BTW it should not have become less understandable in terms of the speed of both actions and words pronunciation. while I was able to understand most of them by ears in the 0, I had to read all the subtitles in the 1st...)
