《神探夏洛克》在中国热播 Sherlock has become a global phenomenon, but nowhere more than in China, which was one of the first countries where the new season was shown. 夏洛克已经在全球掀起了一股热潮，而其在中国的热度更是高于其他国家。中国是该剧同步首播的几个国家之一。 ?

Y says that after two weeks, total viewership for the Sherlock third season premiere had risen to 14.5 million people. That compares with the 8 to 9 million people who the BBC says watch
