It's not only one of the best sherlock holmes tv series/movies it's one of the best tv shows i've seen in a long time.
Once again I'm disappointed with how un-Sherlocky he is. Honestly, I feel like the makers don't expect the audience to have read the books. I wouldn't be surprised if the makers haven't read the books themselves.
Apart from that though, it was a good movie. The action can be a bit overwhelming at times but the slo-mo shots are awesome, and the humour is pretty nice too. The ending was a bit too open for my taste but good nonetheless.
Seriously though, the fact that it's supposed to be the original and actual Sherlock Holmes is annoying. I'm not saying I hate the character: I love how he deduces fights, and his manner is entertaining. But it's not Sherlock Holmes, and it just grinds my gears that it's meant to be. If it were even set in a different time or country, and only based off the English 19th century Holmes, that would have been better.
(Also Watson should be fat and Mycroft is hilarious.)
