Season one and two were freakin' amazing, but season 3 (I've seen eps one & two) seems to have this slow paced slice of life feel revolving around the relationship between Sherlock and Watson with literally 0 other interesting characters. Well, Mycroft got like 2 minutes of attention when they were talking about their childhoods, but it feels boring as hell with nothing at stake.

Hopefully ep 3 is better!!

I think it actually follows the original books quite well. Moffat (showrunner of this and Dr. Who) knows what he is doing. Again, seasons 1-2 were quite brilliant.

@Ani: British shows run short like Japanese ones, with the exception of Dr. Who which is like the Sazae-san of the UK.
