It's almost always a smart character using their brain to outwit everyone else in the room while showing off to a love interest.
Sherlock
Holmes's only love interest is an afternoon at the opium den, he hates women. If you read the books the guy is 100% aspie savant. He has two operating modes... pursuit, and coked off his ass.
In this case, I think he was referring to the hugely popular on tumblr show called literally Sherlock that was highly praised for its "portrayal" of an intelligent character.
It had a final season so bad people literally memoryholed it, rewrote history to call it always trash, and forget that its the only reason Benedict Cumberbatch got famous, but it was one of the leading examples of "smart is sexy" a decade ago.
