  I’m not sure they are always correct, and I haven’t ever seen Sherlock so couldn’t say. I think Big Bang Theory is quite good, and most of the time it is based on fact. I know the actress who plays Amy, has a PhD in neuroscience and acts as a scientific advisor for the programme, which is a good sign in my opinion.
