Yeah, it's good. Sherlock Holmes is one of the best characters ever and I don't think I've ever seen anything with him or an adaption of him (House, Mentalist, Law & Order Criminal Intent etc) that hasn't been enjoyable.

Clearly you haven't heard about Elementary, the upcoming CBS drama about Holmes moving to the States so he can slum it with Lucy Lui.
Atrocious.
As far Sherlock (the BBC one) it's really good. It always goes: First episode great. Second episode not so much. Third episode better than first.

So Elemenary is basically a rehash of Monk?

No. Monk was good.

The pilot was well received by critics.

I watched the first season of Elementary recently and it was alright. Sure, making Holmes a recovering drug addict in modern New York with Lucy Liu as his Watson means it might as well not be Sherlock Holmes at all, but as just another show about a smart weird detective and his sidekick it was good.

Currently Elementary > Sherlock.

I got round to watching Sherlock. Very good. A Scandal in Belgravia was absolutely fantastic.
My only problem with it is that Watson doesn't really do anything. The Holmes/Watson relationship and the build up of Watson's character over the first season was one the best parts of Elementary. In Sherlock he's mostly just along for the ride.
