Saw an episode. A supporting character was cool. The mystery was cool. Holmes is okay. Watson is lame. The setting is lame. I called the end-of-episode, not-relevant-to-the-case reveal halfway through the episode.
They're sorta basing this show off of House, which was already based off of Sherlock Holmes in the first place, so it ends up like a 3rd-generation VHS copy: Watchable, but still a sore sight.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I enjoyed it. On a scale of one to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, it's certainly well below Sherlock but I still had fun watching it. Honestly, I prefer it to the movies, which despite having better plots and action rather fail to grasp the Sherlock Holmes feel. Elementary doesn't quite succeed, either, but it's still interesting and is a little closer. Ironic considering the two modernized versions manage to retain the heart of the source material, in my eyes at least, better than the movies in the traditional setting.

and I liked Watson, so nyeh. :{P

I would imagine it's not as awesome as Sherlock but its to do with mysteries so I'll probably like it.

I haven't watched a single episode yet. I'll watch some since it is currently showing in one of our local networks. By then I'll share my experience with this show.

Just watched the "reunion" with M episode... this episode was the most scariest (to me) so far!!! O_o

Loved that [spoiler]Joan decided to stay with Sherlock even though her contract was basically terminated...[/spoiler]


:D
