Sherlock is a stoic. I quite like that.
Edward-or-whatever is an obnoxious brat. Maybe it's supposed to be funny, but I really hate that.
You just saw Edward in merely the first four episodes. He's a young kid (16 or so), yes, but he's also frankly a soldier and a fighter, and he can get extremely dark and stoic.
And let's not even get into the Roy Mustang-ness of Roy Mustang.
I'm sure he gets better, but I can't get past the obligatory anime "giant head, angry shouting" scenes. Those are just awful.
And I don't know what a Roy Mustang is. Mustache?

I don't know who you think you are, Belgian, but let me tell you that you tread on a dangerous line.
I don't like police procedurals. Neither Sherlock Holmes nor Sherlock are, or are meant to be. (One of my main problems with Elementary is that it seems like they dumped Holmes into a standard American cop show, which he can't work in.)
Sherlock is... I don't know what the fuck it is. There's some political thriller, some Shakespearean tragedy, some of the classic Holmes, and just a touch of a fairy tale. It is anything but common or overdone.
I recall an episode with some kind of monster wolf and hallucinogenics. That was fun.
Hound of Baskervilles
It's one of the most famous pieces of literature of all time, damn you!
