I really loved the cg effects, and the filming styles; it's not only very aesthetically pleasing to watch, but they added in some nice humor and great writers for the characters.
I'm entirely pleased with the show.

Thought I'd butt in as well, considering I found myself enjoying the show because of reasons stated very well in the post above! :)
When I first heard that the show would take place in modern day, I felt very, very skeptical to be honest, since Sherlock Holmes is all about the victorian era, which I'm very fond of, but it turned out that they've done a lot of research in order to adapt the show to our time! Very well done.
The actors are great, too, which only adds to the show's greatness. Sherlock (Benedict) is as snarky as I imagined him to be. I also love the fact that they've made him a "high functional sociopath", not sure why, but I think it's a nice detail about him.
Watson.... Wow. He's amazing. There's a LOT of attitude going on there, and I really, really love the way Martin portrays him!
Eh, sorry, turned out quite long.
