What bothered me about Sherlock Holmes is the fact that Holmes' skill is essentially "looking very hard" and/or "noticing the details and putting them together." In addition, a lot of the stories rely on there being little tells for Holmes to pick up on - when in real life that isn't always the case - although I suppose the point was the tells were so small "ordinary" people wouldn't notice them. Idk.
