I'm obviously going to have to give Elementary another try.
I've often figured canon Holmes asexual as well. Watson hoped he'd take an interest in a female client who proved more resourceful than usual, but Holmes referred to her concern as brotherly. And I think his attraction to Irene was more respect for her mind and gumption.

The beginning of S1 is kind of bland procedural-ish, and it's weird to see Sherlock Holmes transplanted to NYC, but after about 4 or 5 episodes, it really picks up. And what they did with Moriarty was sheer fucking genius.
I'm worried about Moriarty after what the BBC did.
No, Elementary's Moriarty is a glorious thing. I promise. (Because I utterly loathe BBC's Moriarty. LOATHE.)
I second Steph's thoughts about the contrasting Moriarties. BBC Moriarty = creeptastic and gross. CBS Moriarty = Brilliant and genuinely novel.
Bah, Netflix won't stream Elementary, and I'm not going to pay even more to get 2 DVDs a month.
Past seasons of Elementary are on Hulu.
AND I'm on it sometimes. If you don't blink.
I've been thinking of dropping Netflix, there's not a lot on there I watch. I shall investigate Hulu.
