Sherlock the character of the TV show? Ay, I imagine many people would find a real-life Sherlock insufferable, but that's kind of the point. He's supposed to be hated by many and admired by few.

As to the deductive genius part, I generally agree... unless, of course, the person in question would truly possess a similar skill. (which is not altogether impossible). But of course it would be nicer if they both possessed it and were humble about it.

I'm more irked by the fact that people say "I identify with Holmes/Sherlock" and mean "I'm an insufferable dick who thinks he's cleverer than everyone else", not understanding that
a) Genius, real genius, is an essential part of the character
b) The original Holmes is much less of an insufferable dick than some folks think

AYRT
I totally understand b) because I loved the original stories, but I'm still pretty sure I would dislike someone with his personality. Probably because his personality is only justifiable with his genius. I think I mainly have a problem with arrogance, ha. 'People say "I identify with Holmes/Sherlock" and mean "I'm an insufferable dick who thinks he's cleverer than everyone else"' this hits the nail on the head exactly on why I don't like (most) people who say they 'identify' with Sherlock, thank you!

It's been a long time since I've read any of the books, but wasn't the original Holmes mostly just a loner with some weird habits. That's why I'm always boggled by the BBC Sherlock fans who go on about how accurate Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal is. Because, uh, it isn't. At all. It's an interpretation, no more 'accurate' than the Holmes from Elementary or the Holmes from the Guy Ritchie films.
