A little misplaced? Just speaking for BBC Sherlock, I wouldn't call it queer representation at all. It's just sort of "Hur hur lookit everyone thinks two guys who live together and have a bromance means they're gay let's point it out every five minutes," and then the series creators then are just like "OH NO THEY'RE TOTALLY NOT GAY." Which seems to happen a lot these days, because oh golly goodness do we ever love our bromances *retch*. I think people forget that subtext is not representation. It's kind of insulting, I think.
