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.

It's pretty consistent - I have a hugeass post of mine that I can link you to, if you like.

I'm in love with the show (and have been a Holmes fan since about age 5) but it certainly has Issues.

I have watched all the episodes several times and found them wonderful. The 4th one explains Sherlock's attitude well I think so keep going if you can. You have to remember that Sherlock is NOT NORMAL by any means and his attitude towards others is very nasty no matter their sex. Keep watching! :-)

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

From what I know about Holmes, with very few exceptions, he kind of hates everyone :\ Then again, I have only begun reading the stories, not watching the show.
