* ArmorPiercingSlap: Hatano gives one to Sherlock after [[spoiler:she can't compose herself due to Wato's disappearance. This gives Sherlock the confidence to continue her investigation]].

YMMV.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Sherlock. Her constant strange, anti-social and oftentimes eccentric behaviour seems like possible signs of her being on the autism spectrum, such as her retreating to a couch and covering her ears (possible sensory overload) when an antagonist is wailing loudly in despair, or the childlike glee on her face as she explains how a grieving mother went on a killing spree as revenge for the murder of her six-year-old daughter. Besides stimming by fidgeting with objects, she also sways from side to side whenever she's in a rolling chair.

* TheNotLoveInterest: Since the series is an adaptation of ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'', Dr. Wato Tachibana (aka Wato-san) naturally fulfills a lot of roles in her dynamic with Sherlock that would go to a love interest in another work. While their dynamic is colder than most versions, their growing bond forms the emotional core of the series. Wato is even kidnapped at one point to get Sherlock's cooperation in an IHaveYourWife situation. Sherlock even gets out of her funk in the finale for the specific purpose of saving Wato and sacrifices herself to save Wato from the BigBad, with Wato shown to be devastated by her death in the way a LoveInterest would normally be.

Reworded for more tact and less speculation.


Eight episodes in total. Any chance at a second season probably evaporated when Yuko Takeuchi, who played Sherlock, killed herself in September 2020.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Miss Sherlock, even by the standards of ''Series/Sherlock'' (which this version is heavily inspired by). She unapologetically invades the personal space of strangers, displays ''zero'' sensitivity to others, and frequently belittles and insults people, including Wato-san (whom she spends most of the series being indifferent or even outright hostile towards).
