The show was created on the basis of creating a modern, medically educated version of Sherlock Holmes. If you check it out on wikipedia.org, you'll find other references to Holmes and his life in the TV show.
But the character is always this way. There are some times where we see his humanity or how he came to be this way (he was always a skeptic, but I think that his character being in constant pain influences some of his rash behavior (he takes Vicidin all the time to combat the pain but I hear this season he is in rehab for that addiction)).
I watch the show on occasion and enjoy it, mainly more for the character interactions. Sure it's repetitive, but aren't all investigative solving shows (like CSI, Bones, Law and Order, etc)?
