Sherlock: 10 Most Hated Episodes

10. A Study In Pink

Alas, poor A Study in Pink. This really does not belong on a "Most Hated Sherlock Episodes" list, but because Sherlock only has 13 episodes, only three can be absent from this list. A Study in Pink almost makes the cut for those three, but since it's the pilot offering, it only makes sense that Sherlock fans would prefer the show's other great outings rather than this one.

For a pilot, though, it's a seriously great one. It does a great job at introducing the show's characters and even interjects fun humor during occasional bits. One of the biggest problems the later episodes of Sherlock would have is just how much forced comedy they have, often feeling like the writers set aside the plot at times in order to spotlight a comedic scene.

This episode, however, does comedy without it ever feeling like getting in the way of the plot. Sherlock is a detective show, after all, and like all detective shows should be, A Study in Pink starts the iconic reimagining off as tense, exciting, suspenseful, and most of all, plenty of fun.
