This was a powerful piece of meta. I personally believe that some of the things you highlighted are intentional decisions made by the writers in fleshing out modern!Holmes' shades of ugliness in character, and I am glad for it because so many other Holmes portrayals showcase his suave superiority with no ugliness to balance it out.

But the political constructs and role of women and appalling levels of racefail... yeah, I noted them and mostly attempted to separate it from the elements of the show that I do enjoy. This meta brought all those problematic areas into sharp clarity. Thank you for opening my eyes. :)
