Terrible writers and an even more terrible fanbase.

The acting is nice but the writing is terrible.

Dumb people writing characters to imagine them being far smarter than them.

House was the better Sherlock series

watson wasn't played by idris elba

nothing. contrarian

someone post the pasta

>series 1
Keep to ACD, just change a few things so it's happening in the present day and fans don't already know the solution
>series 2
Hey, everyone liked the little changes and updates we made, let's do more of that
>all the rest
People like our original material so much, lets do a whole show with just our stuff and forget about the books

season 4 really jumped the shark. they even bothered with a season 5?

it's overwritten, over directed, over produced

The geeky version of Sherlock was to be expected, but the way they describe his thought process rather comes off as showoff than actual description.
Also Moriarty meant more when he was threatening and intimidating, he's not a threat so much when he acts like a chat troll.

I cant tell if its Moffat or the other dude? But the writing and stories are just really not interesting (spy/ assassin wife? No thanks)

It got worse, cause they thought they could just mqke up their own.

Pic related.
Also moffat's infatuation with the "sociopathy", despite having an edgy 13yo Sasuke fan's understanding of the concept.

the way they needed to circlejerk how smart Sherlock was, instead of just showing he was a good detective. the addition of the sister in the last season who is somehow smarter than everybody in the show combined made it even more shitty

Sherlock was a showoff in the source material. A lot of "mystery" was him intentionally keeping information from Watson for the sake of a dramatic reveal.

Pair of twats that can only play themselves in anything they're in

the entire series only has one good episode

Not so much. In the series with Jeremy Brett, you could clearly see how he was going from A to B.

This, I don't get what kind of person would even keep watching after the insult that was the pilot.

It's hilarious that the burger remake with a female Watson managed to portray the autism and drug addiction "realism" better than bongs. It's a real shame when you get shown up by the cunt from Hackers

not enough moriarty husbando

Brett is best Holmes.

Elementary is actually pretty good and has some comfy episodes.

I agree!

It has smart characters written stupidly.

Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men is a smartly written smart character. When Chigurh kills a hotel room full of three people he books to room next door so he can examine it, finding which walls he can shoot through, where the light switch is, what sort of cover is there etc. This is a smart thing to do because Chigurh is a smart person who is written by another smart person who understands how smart people think.

Were Sherlock Holmes to kill a hotel room full of three people. He'd enter using a secret door in the hotel that he read about in a book ten years ago. He'd throw peanuts at one guy causing him to go into anaphylactic shock, as he had deduced from a dartboard with a picture of George Washington carver on it pinned to the wall that the man had a severe peanut allergy. The second man would then kill himself just according to plan as Sherlock had earlier deduced that him and the first man were homosexual lovers who couldn't live without eachother due to a faint scent of penis on each man's breath and a slight dilation of their pupils whenever they looked at each other. As for the third man, why Sherlock doesn't kill him at all. The third man removes his sunglasses and wig to reveal he actually WAS Sherlock the entire time. But Sherlock just entered through the Secret door and killed two people, how can there be two of him? The first Sherlock removes his mask to reveal he's actually Moriarty attempting to frame Sherlock for two murders. Sherlock however anticipated this, the two dead men stand up, they're undercover police officers, it was all a ruse. "But Sherlock!" Moriarty cries "That police officer blew his own head off, look at it, there's skull fragments on the wall, how is he fine now? How did you fake that?". Sherlock just winks at the screen, the end.

This is retarded because Sherlock is a smart person written by a stupid person to whom smart people are indistinguishable from wizards.

A contemporary Sherlock was a good idea but they fucked up by writing Tumblr fanfictions and retarded twists.

After seeing people praise it over the british one, I started watching Elementary. I'm quite enjoying it so far, though I thought the season 1 finale was absolute garbage.
