Elementary
Just seen the first couple of episodes.
Is it as good as Sherlock? No, I don't think so.
Is it good enough? Yup, I think so based on what I've seem do far.
Sadly I can see it getting a bit lazy in the future but currently it ticks enough boxes.
Miller is quirky enough but seems a bit forced compared with Cumberbatch. Lucy Liu is rather fine.
All feels rushed though as the episodes probably have only about 40 mins of actual action.
Give us your gaffa tape, we don't want your guitars.
Well this is panning out rather well. 5 episodes in and it does keep evolving. I also find the characters likeable.
Arrow is also turning into a good series as I keep wanting to know more about the island.
Even Last Resort is keeping me involved. Definitely the weakest of the three though.
How I met your Mother needs to end this season though. And sadly I want Big Bang Theory to go out in a high, rather than do a Friends and drag it out too far.
Anyway, well done to the colonials.

Agree with all of that except I haven't seen Last Resort.
Elementary is not as good as Sherlock, but it seems better than all the other post-Monk, crazy-guy-helps-police shows like Numbers and Mentalist
Mentalist is 10 times the show Elementary will ever be.Originally Posted by stickyfiddle
I love Sherlock and don't mind modern twists on things but Elementary is just shite.
Agreed, Sticky & Brio. Elementary doesn't have the depth or brilliance of Sherlock, but it's still good enough to keep me watching
