I only watched the first episode of this show but I definitely feel like I need to catch up. I'm not very interested in procedurals but the character interaction seems amazingggg from everything I have seen.

Irene is only featured in one of the Sherlock Holmes stories "The Scandal of Bohemia" and it is a real short read. The stories are in the public domain so they can be found online. The Sherlock Holmes movies does make her somewhat of a love interest but they are worth checking out. There is also an episode of BBC Sherlock that features her too.
The Sherlock fandom (I mean all of Sherlock fandom) kind of idolizes her. The best I've heard her described as the Boba Fett of the Sherlock canon in that she only shows up once and isn't very important.
I'm glad that they kinda explored his relationship with his dad, that's something that I wanted to see for awhile. AND OMG IRENE. WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU GUYSSSSS
I literally love Jonny Lee Miller's acting, so underrated. I adore the little things he does that really makes Sherlock more dimensional than BBC Sherlock is.
BTW, what did Sherlock's not-dad mean when he said Sherlock was going from "post to post" when he fell & broke his wrist as a kid? Is that like a military thing...? I thought that was gonna tie into his fear of flying, maybe, but not quite. Goddamn, between this, Grey's and Flight, I am never getting on another airplane again.

I need to understand what that means "the Boba Fett of Sherlock Holmes" like she's barely in canon but everyone loves her/hypes her up/gives her backstory??
JLM is really nailing it with every single expression and facial tick. It's an impressive performance imo. Someone upthread said he better win a Golden Globe and ita, a nomination at least is a must. He's foreign (lol because they do love that) and the performance is whimsical, it's a perfect fit. He should definitely get some recognition for this (and it won't be an Emmy, lbr).
he might get an Emmy nomination. Simon Baker has for The Mentalist a couple of times and it's about the same level of show as Elementary. He wouldn't win, but it would be nice to see him nominated.
Hopefully they do her right either way. If they must go the love route, it better be fucking amazing.
Can't wait! So excited!
The color really suited him idk haha but I love it
AND OMG IRENE. WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU GUYSSSSS
mixed emotions over irene showing up.
I keep a likeness of him in my boudoir.
I was SO stoked to see him on my TV and now I want to watch Robin Hood: Men In Tights.
Whoa, I used a depressing icon, edited hehe.
