I pretty much started watching it because it's Sherlock Holmes. Plus I like Lucy Liu in what I've seen her. Which granted has been Charlie's Angels and one of the Owen Wilson/Jackie Chan movies. And probably one other one that I can't think of right now.
Then I kept watching because I like the Holmes/Watson interactions and I like Gregson and Bell. The cases are a bit predictable (I blame that on watching decades of Law & Order though) and they do have a tendency to over explain things. But I do like the nods to the original source material and the fact that they've been stressing that Holmes and Watson are going to be platonic only. Have to admit here that I'm an omnishipper and have read H/W fic, but I can't picture it and there's nothing worse in a show than trying to tack on the romance between two people who very clearly don't have that...spark between them.
Plus the actress who's playing Irene played my favorite character in ''The Tudors' and I loved her portrayal in that. Even if seeing her as a blonde instead of a brunette keeps throwing me off.
