Thoughts on Elementary

[starrylizard]

I'm definitely starting to like Elementary. Where BBC Sherlock is a self-declared sociopath. This Sherlock is much more emotional. His pain almost seems to come from trying to control himself and keep his emotions in check. Plus he really does come across as a recovering addict. Joan started out seeming very passive, but she's becoming more interesting now. Plus the interaction is becoming more mutually beneficial. I'm interested to see where it goes and happy that it isn't trying to be a carbon copy of Sherlock as I feared at first. :D

I totally get where you're coming from. I really like comparing the different versions and seeing how it is being interpreted. It's a lot of fun. Lucy Lui was the main reason I was unsure about this version, but Joan is slowly growing on me as they make her more of a character in her own right.
