Rules

Be civil. Moriarty loves chaos, but we don’t. Disagree respectfully—no abuse, harassment, or targeted attacks.
Stay on-topic. Mrs. Hudson doesn't like a mess. Keep on track—this subreddit is only for the BBC Sherlock series, and discussions surrounding it.
No self-promotion, links to unofficial merchandise, or other spam. John keeps Sherlock from chasing shady leads. Let's follow his example—no self-promotion or unofficial merchandise.
No discussion of piracy or circumventing DRM. In season 2, Mycroft says that Sherlock wanted to be a pirate when he was younger. Of course, this doesn't mean you should pirate Sherlock. Just a little fact for you.
Artistic drawings and images must be credited. Lestrade takes credit for Sherlock's brilliance. Don't be Lestrade—credit the artists.
No AI-generated art. Much like Anderson's theories, AI-generated art has no place here.
No JohnLock or fanfiction. Save your fanfiction for another case file. Please post all fanfiction/Johnlock content within either the fanfiction megathread, the fanfiction subreddit, or the Johnlock subreddit.

Spoiler Policy

We allow free discussion of all events within Sherlock. Browsing this subreddit without having completed the show could result in spoilers.

Of course, we hope that you use respect and common sense. If a user specifically mentions that they have not completed the series, it is a common courtesy to avoid spoiling them.

If you do need to mark something as a spoiler for any reason, please use the spoiler format:

>!Moriarty was real!<

This will come out as: >!Moriarty was real!<
