"The portrayal of Sherlock, both in the script and the execution by Cumberbatch, is good and it's interesting that the show makes you root for a guy who's basically an egotistical prick."

I don't like Sherlock (the show) because I find Sherlock (the character) too unlikeable. He reminds me of that guy that seems to pop up in every geek social circle, who thinks that being smart gives him a license to be an asshole.

So very much this. And as a canon ACD fan it pisses me off when they try to claim that the original is the same or even somehow worse for no real reason than that it's really important to them that it's "authentic". It isn't.

Yeah. Canon!Holmes seemed to see people as puzzles to be solved first, but he was also capable of compassion (letting people who had committed crimes for what he saw as good reasons go, etc.) and he never struck me as being needlessly rude.

And considering the license the creators have taken with this particular adaptation, claiming a fetish for authenticity really is kind of silly.
