Sherlock English difficulty

Is Sherlock good for learning English?

Sherlock works best for very advanced learners who can follow fast and complex English. The narrative adds extra difficulty because learners need to track events, motives, or character relationships. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. Also, the British accent can make some lines harder to catch and crime scenes may bring in words related to investigations, police or legal vocabulary. At an average of around 107 words per minute, the dialogue is generally manageable, though some exchanges require more attention. A learner around C1/C2 should be able to follow it, although the British accent may take some time to get used to.
