The biggest outcry from those of my acquaintance who have seen it is about the Scandal in Bohemia based episode because of the dumbing down of Irene Adler. In canon, she is the only person to have beaten SH, and apparently, that was changed in the new series so Sherlock could rescue her.
The other thing I've read from other Sherlock fans is their objection to Moffat calling Sherlock a 'psychopath' over and over. Sherlock Holmes is NOT psychopathic. There has been speculation over the years that he may be manic depressive or have Asperger's.
In my little group, those were the main objections to Moffat's writing and comments.
