What is the plot of the BBC series Sherlock?

The story of Sherlock takes place in modern-day London, an age far advanced from Doyle's Victorian England. Communication has gotten significantly easier with rapid access to the internet and telecommunication, but along with that, crimes have also evolved. Sherlock, now working as a consulting detective, must learn the new ways of the world and, at some points, be ahead of it.

In the process, he meets the guy who later becomes his evergreen, friend Dr. Watson. He is an ex-war veteran who served his time in Afghanistan and just came and wanted a flat. Sherlock had advertised for a flatmate, and Watson ends up there on his Baker Street Flat. They two soon find themselves in a web of mysterious cases, which Watson begins to document on his blog.

Sherlock soon starts to attract people's attention with his excellent wit and intellect. Despite people's immediate suspicion and doubts about their ways, the two soon became an important asset to the British government. They are accompanied by other characters, including Mrs. Hudson, Inspector Greg Lestrade, Molly Hooper, Mycroft, and Jim Moriarty, Sherlock's recurring enemy.
