I'm [older] so it really pleases me that, despite all of Sherlock's tech savviness, he still wears a wrist watch, and he and John still sit down to breakfast with actual paper newspapers. I guess, the lesson is, ALL generations can enjoy Sherlock!

There's a lot of "old" women around here honey. It's all fine.

I think a good show attracts people of all ages. The younger ones may be just a little more vocal, is all.

I like to remind myself that the creators aren't in their first flush of youth either! Not that they're old, but I do notice particularly with Doctor Who (and sometimes with Sherlock, I think, although nothing is springing to mind) that a lot of their references are relevant to people of their age. Which is fine by me, being about that age myself!

Thanks everyone. I feel even more at home here!

It's definitely a show that appeals to all age groups which is fantastic

I'm older too and I love the show! It's nice because I watch it with my 15 year old daughter and we talk about it all the time.

Well I'm in the 'younger' group (if 26 counts... according to Martin Freeman I'm just too old to watch Sherlock xD)

But I enjoy the 'man out of his time' thing... as much as it's fun to see them use modern technology... chat rooms and now twitter (reminds me... I might need to download the twitter app and type to remember the password to that account I never use)

But I like that there's a mix of it.
