I don't mean to be so negative-- I keep watching it, after all. But I have wat klagen over this show.
I'll start with the positives: Alfred van de Heuvel plays a very likable character; Grote Oma is awesome; it's subtitled, which is rare, so you can learn more Dutch as you watch/listen; I think the interactions and language is very natural and colloquial, not too stagey/cutesy.
The negatives: Maud's witch-like cackle and general nastiness; Julia's earsplitting "singing"; fawning over guest stars/BN'ers; breaking down the 4th wall to address the audience or making self-references to the show; overdone stammering of several characters when showing uncertainty; dramatic scenes comprised of bellowing.
Overall, I think it's watchable, although it feels like a show that is just about prolonging itself via vignettes.

I guess I am skewed in that I really do love the sfeer of Amsterdam and for me, looking at all the various properties' interiors is like real estate pr0n for me (or maybe a kind of voyeurism).
The plot lines and characters are likable enough. Not sure why the low rating! Sure, some of the threads aren't fully explored, or are brought out to serve a purpose in a single episode and never mentioned again. But aside from quirks with the continuity/writing, I think it's pretty decent drama overall. Not boring, tense, & unexpected.
Admittedly I started watching during Seizoen 2, so my opinion is based off of that. So if you didn't like S.1. so much, geef 't maar een kans verder.

...if only to see for yourself whether the objections were justified.
I've read quite a few of the SH stories and a couple of the novels, and have stayed at the Sherlock Holmes Hotel in London on Baker Street, which is peppered with memorabilia from perhaps a century ago. Another seeding of my impressions of what SH should look and act like are of course the Granada television series starring the late Jeremy Brett. Everyone does different things with the characters and adapting the stories, and Ritchie's interpretation-- along with some decent acting-- are quite valid and within plausibility of the legendary yet fictional character's representation.
In fact, aside from being initially dismayed at (untrue) reports of anachronistic or non-canonical fighting scenes, the only things which made me wonder why the movie dared to include something which I didn't see fit, was that I hadn't read the SH story which might have explained or justified the inclusion!
The film was enjoyable and had a mystery to be solved, a few false leads to make it unpredictable, excellent cinematography and direction, crackling dialogue, a great transformation in portrayal as seen by Eddie Marsan and even Jude Law's mustache, seemingly authentic costuming, and a better use of Watson than as a dopey version of Ed McMahon (as we're used to seeing) or as a device to convey exposition to the audience-- which was done in another way.
Very well-crafted action movie with a cerebral, literary, and historical edge. Not offensive to SH fans, unless there's a bad pedantic apple in the bunch: I'm glad my friends' word-of-mouth trumped the trollerific nay-saying of the Great Unwashed & convinced me to see it. I'm going to bring more people along with me when I see it again!
