Elementary, no match for me. Besides the much more interesting cases and detective work, its acting is what sets him apart from The Mentalist in a major way. Baker is an amazing actor but Jonny Lee Miller's work on Sherlock Holmes is on another level, honestly some of the best tv acting I've seen. Plus, it's often very funny and got some real good twists on Sherlock's lore

Victoria with Jenna Coleman was the sappiest girly teenage fairytale with zero historical authenticity, all things I normally hate, but I'll be damned if I missed one single episode of that

same with Poldark. I was invested to the very end of that barrage of impossibly beautiful people, French jnvasions of England in the form of eight guys, England retaliating by storming France with six men, Poldark working in a mine for like 16 hours a day, go home, tend to the crops, have sex with Demelza and go out at night because something was afoot around the property, cartoon villains, super progressive parliamentary sessions, more bad luck than Wily Coyote and proto James Bond shenanigans

"prestige television" (god, I hate that pretentious ass definition) is hard to beat production wise, so early 2000s to circa today. But the heart seldom follows the head, thus my personal best decade is mid 80s to mid 90s. Stellar sitcoms like Frasier and OFAH, Star Trek DS9, MacGyver, Fresh Prince, Bottom, Edge of Darkness...that is my pick
