Sherlock Holmes is really great because you can either read it as Holmes/Watson canon or as Holmes being asexual. Either way, it's very clear in the books that the Holmes-Watson relationship is very close, and Watson's relationship(s) with his wife(s) are pretty much awful. I love Holmes/Watson slash but when it comes to Holmes adaptations an asexual Holmes is far, far better than a Holmes who is attracted to women, because in the books one of Holmes' defining character traits is his intense misogyny and dislike of women in general.
If you want to read some Holmes/Watson fic, there is no better place to start than katieforsythe. She is the queen of Holmes fic. It is flawless.
Yup, that's a study in scarlet. Holmes whipping corpses in the mortuary! they have that in the show and it is AWESOME.
p.s. when you rewatch Inception... look out for the suits. i was ttly obsessing over the costumes on the second viewing. also, did you know this really cool thing about the soundtrack? Basically, the main booming soundtrack section that plays over the scenes when Cobb etc wash up on the beach? that is the brass intro from Je Ne Regrette Rien, slowed down. how freaking brilliant is that?
