Mine is light and L from death note . They were potrayed as some kinda of super genius characters but in reality it felt like every other characters shared one braincell and light and L were average .

EDIT : I have come to the conclusion that so may of lemmings didn't get what my post was about . I don't care if a charecter is an asshole or isn't very good in other aspects of their life.

Sherlock played by Cumberbatch. He looked like a stuckup asshole who I'd never trust with a baby or pet.

Hbomberguy made a video about it. There's no nuance or foreshadowing in that Sherlock. He exists just so Moffat can feel smart that he knows something the audience can't possibly know yet, nor does he give them a chance to figure it out.

I can’t dispute that, but in fairness, there are quite a few of the original Sherlock Holmes stories where the reader couldn’t be expected to solve the mystery. The Adventure of the Red Headed League is one such, as I recall, though it has been quite a while since I read it.

For me the fun of the show is in the chemistry between actors and in the development of Sherlock’s character as someone who discovers his own humanity and eventually forms connections with those around him.
