This isn't the first time the series has been nominated. Previously, the first two seasons received 17 Primetime Emmy nods; however, it never won once.
When series three began airing, it picked up in popularity, returning to record ratings overseas and in the U.S. When this year's Emmys were announced, "Sherlock" received 12 nominations.
You can catch up with "Sherlock" on Netflix now; however, as a fan, I strongly advise against binge-watching the series until it's close to returning or you'll be left wanting more.
