One, perhaps the only gripe I had about BBC's Sherlock was that they, in my view, wimped out by not addressing Holmes' drug use other than an occasional cigarette reference and the ridiculous "three patch problem" nonsense. Now, with the series an established success and one that imo does not insult its audience--including a significant youthful female fanbase --has at last acknowledged, taken on and have brought in the drug usage aspect of Sherlock Holmes' character.
I used to think that the Beeb refused such a portayal for fear of negatively influencing that aforementioned segment of the Sherlock fanbase, as if these people were all going straight to their local opium den "because Sherlock uses drugs."
Bravo to Moffat and Gatiss--and even the BBC.
ELEMENTARY has plenty of drug addled Sherlock. Go for it Jimbo.
