Man, we all talk about how Game of Thrones tanked and took itself completely out of pop culture (before HotD brought it back in full force), but Sherlock should be in that conversation too. It was a powerhouse, with everyone waiting for new seasons and buying merch. Then it just got worse and worse until I can't even remember what happened in the last season. Something about Sherlock's sister making Moriarty or some nonsense. And now, I don't even think about the show until I see it mentioned elsewhere, which is rare.
You're right though, that this format can work. And I think this is a great franchise to use it. Very excited!

You could honestly stop watching after season 2, it's a perfect ending for the show

I think S3 holds up quality wise on a rewatch and makes for a very solid ending to the show apart from the cliffhanger ending which is so fucking annoying.

IMHO Sherlock was more gradual: each season got a bit too clever for its own good. Also found the same with Downton Abbey: I was less interested after each season until I stopped watching. (I really liked the first because I had also watched Fellowes' Gosford Park when it was released.)
GoT seems to have run off a sheer cliff.
