That sounds great! Alas, the adverts they have been showing for it here are for a programme that looks nothing like that, which may just mean that I will end up liking the show and hating the adverts.
Taking it to America doesn't bother me at all; Conan Doyle was very keen on Americans and has loads of them in his Holmes stories and more in his fantasy and sci fi books. What upset me in the ads was the fetishisation of British Holmes in an American context, though from what you say, it could well be that the adverts are nothing like the show: fingers crossed! Still, I don't see why it couldn't be all-American, which would make more sense! New York is certainly a dense enough metropolis to be the sort of city ACD thought you needed for a Holmes!
Red peppers are DELICIOUS! You should let me eat them all for you! (Though they are also admirably aerodynamic …)
