In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan war, less adoring and more active.
Benedict Cumberbatch hates Sherlock’s hair
Holmes often said “elementary” and “My dear Watson” but never “Elementary my dear Watson.”
Sherlock was based off one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s college professors, Dr. Joseph Bell, who could famously diagnose his patients by simply looking at them.
