Thanks for this post because it is a wonderful thing to engage with. I had a passing thought the other day that Sherlock was a bit like the news (like mainstream TV reportage transposed into the dramatic fiction genre) with problematic fundamentals that are slippery because they are connected to structures of thought. And you know, I enjoy the show as much as I enjoy the news and that's definitely something I want to keep considering. There's such a particular slant to them and your post has broken it down beautifully. I'm putting this in my memories.
