I don't know - nothing is addressed in the ACD stories, either. (they're good fun but once you start thinking about the issues ignored, they're pretty creepy - and I think the new Holmes is doing the same thing)
(and I know how people think Moffat and Gattiss are geniuses, but I think that's only because RTD is such a crap director/writer etc.... I think they have better ideas and they're better at executing them, but their strong point is action not introspective character-based plots....)
Ah, I had forgotten about the Orientalism in the second ep - yes, that had been downright embarrassing to watch (I think I've done all I could to block it out of my mind)
