So, I just started watching BBC's Sherlock (two episodes so far), and I mostly like it except ... is it always so sexist, or will that get better? I am a Cumberbatch fan, the production is excellent and the writing is pretty good, but I've never been a big Holmes fan, so the sexism might be a deal-breaker for me.

Yep, I agree with monteseverus. Sherlock is pretty nasty to everyone, regardless of sex. And yes, episode 4 does explain a lot. Sherlock's pretty good, I love the production and I love the cast, and I'm eagerly waiting for the third season. (And OMG, the SPN-Sherlock crossovers are EPIC) :D

I was already getting SPN-Sherlock crossover ideas after just two episodes, so I can believe it!! :-D

Okay, I'll hold out at least until the 4th episode and see what I think, but I think it's more the SHOW'S attitude toward women I'm not liking, which sucks. I could forgive the character, but the creators? Ugh.

What do you think of Martin Freeman? I thought he was amazing as Bilbo and in the first episode of Sherlock, but already I'm kind of losing the love ....

I loved Martin Freeman as Watson, basically because I find the cluelessness of the character kind of endearing :D Yes, I see what you mean by the show's attitude to women, but I feel like it's because the characters are created that way, there's the whole character filter thing going on...
