When the BBC's Sherlock debuted in summer 2010--and appeared in the U.S. on PBS a few months later--no one knew it would become an international phenomenon. The series has since gathered a diverse and enthusiastic fandom.
Like their hero, Sherlock fans scrutinize clues about the show's deeper meaning, as well as happenings off screen. They postulate theories and readings of the characters and their relationships. They have tweeted with "The Powers That Be," mobilized to filming locations via #Setlock, and become advocates for LGBTQIA communities.
Sherlock's digital communities have changed the way that fans and series creators interact in person and online, as each publicly takes "ownership" of beloved television characters who represent far more than entertainment to fans.

"The popularity of the BBC's recent Sherlock series, fueled by social media, has only added to the longtime fandom of Arthur Conan Doyle's quirky detective. Authors Wojton and Porter contend that the BBC production's unique, compelling feature is its complex attitude toward sexuality, a pairing known in fan communities as Johnlock...describ[es] the ways online fans analyze and celebrate the ambiguous relationships between characters, often through fan fiction"--Booklist
