Thing is, almost every single adaptation there has ever been of Holmes has been off-canon, so I wasn't that bothered about them ruining it in that film (even though they completely forgot to mention that Watson is a writer and Holmes' biographer), but they messed with historical and physical facts. There's a stupid chase scene where they run from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge. They are almost three miles apart in real life! They also didn't explain why both houses in Parliament were sitting together (you'd NEVER see that unless it was the opening of Parliament, which it obviously wasn't because if it was, the Queen would have been there u_u). Sorry for the rant XD But it breaks my heart!
I'm sure the series will come out on DVD ;) Or it might be shown. I think some of their other work has been shown abroad.
