Are there any Sherlock-Holmes-esque crime dramas that are actually good?
I wanted to watch the latest season of BBC Sherlock a few weeks but that turned out to be utter trash.
Yesterday I got started on CBS Elementary only to find that the first episode makes no sense at all. I still went for episode two, which unsurprisingly also didn't make any sense.
I love the premise of master detective show but I can't seem to find anything decent.

elementary can get pretty enjoyable later on

makes no sense how? the case?
Elementary is pretty formulaic, but the writing staff do make an effort to research elements in cases plus they understand the short stories well enough to plop them in every so often.

Elementary does get better, they just take a little to long to establish the characters.
Lucy Liu spends most of her time barefoot when they are indoors, which is pretty cool.

Do you have any particular season or episode in mind?
>>84943308
Yep, the cases.
If you look at episode one from the point of view of the criminal the plan for the murder is just dumb, extremely convoluted, unlikely to succeed, and there is still a lot of risk of being caught.
The murder plot in episode two is just impossible logistically and from a medical point of view.

That's not better.

Elementary is actually pretty good. Though, it is as far from "Sherlock" as you can get.
>Female Watson
>Tranny Hudson
>Scumbag Lestrade
>Female Moriarty with 30 secondes screetime
>Trash Mycroft
>Muh dad
>Muh bees
Still rather watch that Eurus mindhacking bullshit again than continue this show

If you read the original Sherlock Holmes books you see Doyle starts with the solution and works backwards for the problem. I like the idea of Sherlock Holmes, but it was never any good... ever.

>far from Sherlock as you can get
But more Holmesian i.e. More of a dectective than a magic man with all the answers
