Sherlock Holmes is not a cold-blooded killer or high-functioning sociopath Steve Moffat and his team are terrible writers who should invent their own detective and characters because they are clearly incapable of getting anywhere near who Sherlock Holmes character actually is. I doubt they ever bothered to find out, like most of their audience.
This portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is closer to a James Bond type of character, not Sherlock. Cumberbatch does his best with terrible writing, but inevitably the real Sherlock would never kill people in cold blood nor act as judge and jury in the stopping of an individual criminal.
Holmes 'powers' are not power of deductive reasoning, but instead portrayed like 'super-powers' similar to a marvel character. HIs explanations are not reasoning or elimination of possibliities but big shows of self-aggrandisement.
Basically this is not Sherlock, but a terrible rendition by a half-hearted writer who wouldn't know a good mystery from his left hand.
