Good day, everybody.
You know what? I’ve decided I don’t like Sherlock. It was alright, and I enjoyed it while it was on, pretty much, but…I just can’t really bring myself to like it. The acting’s good and the scripts are good, it’s got all the gloss and style of a Really Good Show, but the way they’ve done the characters, it just leaves me cold. Holmes is a hero, even though I suppose Moffat and Gatiss don’t think so, and he’d never dismiss people in danger so casually! And Watson isn’t an Everyman, not even close, he’s a war hero and a regular hero and he’s so kind and loyal and awesome that he’s probably in the running for my favourite literary character of all time. Anyway!
I guess I just don’t see the friendship that’s meant to be between them, either. I think we were told that they were best friends a lot, but we never saw it.
I did like what they did with Lestrade, though. And the plots were pretty clever. I feel like I’m bringing down the party, but now I’m just sort of hoping Sherlock fades away into being just another of so many adaptations…
