History Series / MissSherlock

* SuckOutThePoison: It turns out that the woman everybody thought was a vampire for drinking her baby's blood in episode 4 was really doing this. (ItMakesSenseInContext, and is a reference to "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire".)

* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler:Shiina Yuma, the supposedly shy and deferential Shiina sister turned out to a sadistic torturer who lacks empathy.]]

* LightIsNotGood =/= DarkIsNotEvil: The heroic Sherlock dresses in dark colors, usually black. [[spoiler:The villainous Irikawa dresses in light colors, usually blue.]]

* RunningGag: Sherlock, whenever people call Wato her friend: "We're not friends!"
** RunningGagStumbles: The end, where at a moment of crisis, Sherlock tells Wato that Wato is her first and only friend.

* ElectricTorture: In Episode 3 Dr. Watanuki is brutally tortured with electric shocks by someone who wants a code. He's left a vegetable.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Sherlock. Her constant strange, anti-social, and oftentimes eccentric behaviour seem like possible signs of her being on the Autism spectrum, such as her retreating to a couch and covering her ears 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.

* WallFullOfCrazy: In Episode 6, the killer, a father looking for revenge for the murder of his daughter, has a wall festooned with dozens of pictures of the victims he was stalking. More plot-relevant than usual, as the BigBad uses said pictures to send a message to Sherlock and the cops.

* DeathOfAChild: The motive for the killer in Episode 1 is revenge for the death of her six-year-old daughter, killed ten years ago by a drug addict.

* WallOfCrazy: In Episode 6, the killer, a father looking for revenge for the murder of his daughter, has a wall festooned with dozens of pictures of the victims he was stalking. More plot-relevant than usual, as the BigBad uses the pictures on the Wall Of Crazy to send a message to Sherlock and the cops.

While not particularly grounded or serious in its depiction of the Holmes story, the show nonetheless uses its premise to focus on Wato and Sherlock's growing friendship

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: One of the antagonists of episode 2. [[spoiler:He]] is quite easily swayed by unscrupluous business persons to perform some truly terrible crimes, all for the promise of [[spoiler:own art gallery]] in spite of how unrealistic that is. {{Lampshaded}} when even the other antagonists specifically berate [[spoiler:him]] for this when the jig is up.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Wato and Sherlock don't particularly even ''like'' other once they've become roommates, but continue to work together on cases despite having little reason to keep up their partnership after the first case.

* GenderFlip / RaceLift: Other than the obvious examples of Wato and Sherlock, the few remaining characters from the original text are similarly translated into modern Tokyo. Mycroft Holmes, for example, is depicted as "Kento Futaba."
