HOW SHERLOCK HOLMES STORIES ARE ADVERTISED: genius detective and his clever assistant use the power of deduction to solve seemingly impossible murders
WHAT SHERLOCK HOLMES STORIES ARE ACTUALLY LIKE: genius detective and his clever assistant solve a craigslist scam
the funniest holmes stat is that about 20 percent of the original stories involve no crime at all. so one out of every five stories is just two dudes figuring out a Situation
Sherlock and Watson are touhous confirmed
"Clever assistant and his Hikikomori friend solve a craigslist scam Sherlock's brother at Scotland Yard couldn't be bothered to investigate."
also he's generally extremely polite and even sympathetic to many of his clients, not the brusque jerkass Holmes you get from, like, BBC Sherlock
I remember reading a text (I don't know if it was an interview or an essay) where Conand Doyle himself remarked on how few stories have a murder as their central mysteries.
I'd really love a big-budget adaptation that only updates the original story to modern references, such as literally pulling the cases from Craig's List and, rather than "a Drug Problem," Sherlock is just a pretentious techbro with a subscription to whatever the nootropics people are into this week...
