Set primarily in 21st-century London, Sherlock solves various cryptic, seemingly unsolvable crimes alongside the Metropolitan Police Service, most notably Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade, utilizing modern technology such as text messaging, the internet, and GPS. The central conflict of the series revolves around Sherlock's intellectual sparring matches with his arch-nemesis, Jim Moriarty, a criminal mastermind whose psychological warfare pushes Sherlock and John to their absolute limits.
