The Good(+) Has a nice humorous approach to detective work (though can sometimes get a bit too much)
(+) The interactions between the main duo and the other supporting cast members can be quite entertaining
(+) Opening is cool
The Bad
(-) Relationship between main duo is left mostly superficial and unexplored.
(-) Supporting cast has can be entertaining, but aren't fleshed out as characters and are mostly background noise.
(-) Main love interest of the hero has a shoehorned romance with him that isn't developed much.
(-) Police work, investigation and other profession related details are overlooked often.
(-) Main villain is unimpressive and cliche. Because listening to classical music is what all the cool bad guys do nowadays.
Final Verdict
The drama is entertaining if you want to watch something without thinking much. If you expect cool villains, meaningful romance or accurate police work, this isn't for you.

As weird as it sounds, I've never watched any Sherlock related movies or dramas and besides the fact that Sherlock solves cases along with Watson, I know nothing about it. Having that said, here's what I thought of this drama:
The Good
(+) Sherlock, she's just awesome
(+) The interactions and tension between Sherlock and Wato are entertaining
(+) Wato's character. She's understandably mentally weak, but she's still kind and can be adorably naive
(+) Cases are entertaining
(+) Nice OST
The Bad
(-) Cases, even though entertaining, can be predictable
(-) Except Sherlock and Wato, the supporting cast don't have much personality to them, they're mostly just tools to move the plot forward.
(-) Somewhat weak main villain
(-) Questionable police work and investigation procedures
The Verdict
I enjoyed this show even though it has some flaws. Takeuchi Yuko did a good job with her character as Miss Sherlock. The investigations and line of reasoning aren't hard to follow so it can be watched leisurely. If you expect seemingly unsolvable cases or jaw-dropping plot twists, you'll be disappointed though.
