I love this show, and it's probably because the "completely autistic" demeanour of Sherlock. I mean, you can't be in the top thousandth percentile of intelligence and still be a James Bond type gentleman. That's pretty much it. If you want the gentleman that solves sh*t, James Bond is your man. If you want the ultra intelligent, borderline psychic amount of logical deduction, Sherlock is what you watch. I am amused and entertained by how much of a sociopath he is. The way he has absolutely no care or desire to be liked is why I like him. He doesn't waste time trying to be cool or nice. And then when he has the slightest flash of humanity with Ms Hudson or Watson, it's almost adorable. Can't believe I used that word, but that's the word for that.
Great show. Don't change a thing. And yeah, that chinese episode was definitely not one of the better ones.
