I started watching around series 4, I think, and stayed hooked until the end. The funny thing is, I only realised the Sherlock Holmes associations after reading about it, but then of course I could not unsee them anymore. And interesting enough, in Germany the final episode "Everybody Dies" was titled "Reichenbachfall".
