It's definitively bro-y for a certain demographic of British men, our bro culture isn't quite the same as the US and things like Sherlock and James Bond are 100% idealized male power fantasies. Not that we don't have a more 'macho' masculinity demo over here, but even that doesn't present itself the same as it does in the US.

so...I was actually comparing it to the books. In that I think show!Watson and book!Watson are equally bro-y. But that book!Sherlock does that ideal superior british dude thing in a way show!Sherlock doesn't? like show!Sherlock seems odder in-universe? But is that like the difference in era?

I feel like, to the extent that BBC!Sherlock and James Bond represent male power fantasies, they represent incredibly different ones. And I think it's really stretching the meaning of the term "bro" to describe BBC!Sherlock that way.

If you only want "bro" to mean, like, beer-guzzling sports-watching red-blooded masculine people, then no. But "bro" can just refer to "basic male taste", in which case UK!anon above is spot on.
