Cringeworthy stuff IMHO and I wonder how many Holmesians would be that enthusiastic.

Perhaps I am just too big a fan of period dramas being kept in the period in which they were set.
Well at least some in The "Sherlock Holmes Society " seem to have rather enjoyed it The District Messenger - sherlock holmes society Newsletter
And as to the plots, I would suggest they are indeed very much in the spirit of Doyle, sometimes it is good to see a period piece replayed in a different setting, it brings all sorts of new insights, you only have to think of the Shakespeare plays for example with Patrick Stewart to see how powerful and moving they still are
