* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: The show had the ever brilliant James Moriarty, with Martin Fenwick as his creepy but dangerous henchman, along with numerous one-shot villains who were either clever or sympathetic in their motives. By contrast, Chief Inspector Grayson comes off as wholly unlikeable due to his rudeness, obstructiveness and repeated lack of respect of Holmes despite all the mysteries he's been able to solve.

Not sure if this is the right trope or not, but it was left unlabeled (and I'm uncertain if Moriarty qualifies as Woobie material, given his evil and lack of sympathy in-universe).

* "Moriarity" is not the original Moriarty. This man in the 22nd century is a clone that has been programmed to believe he is Moriarty. He's more a fleshy version of the robot-Watson than a "resurrected" person like Holmes. There's reason to pity the man, since he's never been allowed to become his own person and is instead what Fenwick has made him.

** Holmes is voiced by Creator/JasonGrayStanford, who one year later would join the cast of ''Series/{{Monk}}'', where he plays almost the [[ButtMonkey polar opposite of the great detective]].

** [[MadScientist Dr. Martin Fenwick]] is Professor Moriarty's [[TheDragon right-hand man]]. Assisting Moriarty in his crimes, Fenwick would commit many crimes, but his [[Recap/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCenturyS2E03 worst crime]] is creating a [[OrganTheft black market organ trafficking ring]] by tricking homeless citizens into giving him their DNA. He would then clone organs for back-alley transplants that would inevitably fail without warning, and attempt to freeze Holmes and Watson to death when they uncover his scheme. He would exploit the love of a woman named Jill to manipulate her into stealing technology that would allow him to mass produce even more faulty organs for his ring, only to [[DirtyCoward abandon her to save his own skin.]] Despite being Moriarty's minion, Fenwick proves himself to be even viler than his master.

Zero context. This doesn't mention a creator preferred couple, which is needed for this trope.

This is a massive stretch. The two shows have nothing to do with each other and the characters have a superficial similarity at best.

** Beth Lestrade is a woman with short brown hair, purple eyes, a blue suit she's almost never seen out of, and is pretty eager to do her job and catching evildoers. About a few years later, [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom a certain teenage superhero]] has a mother that would fit that same description.

* AngstWhatAngst: ''No'' CharacterDevelopment ''whatsoever'' regarding Holmes's return to life -- he gets nostalgic from time to time and he refuses to accept robo!Watson at first, but this is as far as it goes.

One would think he'd have ''some'' issues after having died and then returning to life in a ''completely different century''. Ironically, this also makes the character true to the original Doyle stories: Holmes' only passion was for solving mysteries (in one story, he expresses pride that he's forgotten basic knowledge about the solar system, because he thinks it's useless trivia), so once he wrapped his head around the fact he was in the 22nd century, it's totally in character that he'd simply ''stop'' caring about it!
