The actor - who plays Sherlock Holmes in new CBS drama Elementary - told Metro that he is a massive fan of the BBC drama, starring his friend Benedict Cumberbatch.
"I love the work that Benedict has done with Sherlock," said Miller. "I would call him up, like a groupie, after every episode came out, wanting to talk to him about it. And we had a discussion about this project [Elementary] as well."
The English star argued that there is room for more than one version of Conan Doyle's detective on television, but admitted that Elementary may not be "everyone's favourite" version.
"We are just making the best show we can," he said. "This is entertainment we are making. There are much more important things to worry about in life."
Cumberbatch previously complimented Elementary, calling Miller's take on the Holmes character "absolutely fantastic".
