How did an American Sherlock Holmes series actually turn out BETTER than the one made by actual motherfucking Brits?

Because despite a great cast and mostly great production, British Sherlock was written by fucking idiots who thought they were geniuses. S2 to 3 is one of the worst quality drops ever.

>>87757369
I have not watch Elementary but Sherlock jumped a different and more deadly species of shark every episode after S2 to the point of jumping fricking sharks with fricking lasers in their heads.

Elementary just smells like your typical procedural with unresolved sexual tension that then gets solved when the ratings start to go down, like Bones or Castle.

idk S4 was shit but nothing was more 'Shark-

AND it was all a dream, that was meant to figure out how Moriarty survived - but all it reavealed was that Moriarty didn't survive, making the entire episode totally pointless.

But that's the best part of Elementary you fool, there's zero sexual tension between Holmes and Watson. Sherlock has 500% more Holmes-Watson tension. I mean, I get where you're coming from, back when Elementary was first revealed I thought for sure it'd be a shitty American procedural knock-off with sexual tension and no character progression. But it quickly proved me wrong as soon as I watched some of it.

Elementary also handles the addiction angle a million times better than Sherlock.

Daily reminder
>>
Elementary does a good job of being a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes. Comfy, well-played mysteries.

BBC's Sherlock is a wildly inconsistent series of TV movies with a Sherlockian main character. Some of it is great, much of it is good, *too* much of it is truly awful.
>>
I vastly prefer Elementary tbqh. In Elementary the mysteries actually have logically deduced answers.
>>
I forgot about Elementary after finishing S2.
Is it worth picking back up? I remember getting kind of bored of it.
>>
>>87759089

It gets marginally better but it's still basically boring.
>>
>>87759089
Like >>87759033 said, it's comfy. It's more self-contained episodes than a seasonal arc so if you prefer the more GoT/HoC/TWD/ST/etc. format of a lot of modern shows, it probably won't be for you.

I think that's what fooled so many BBC Sherlock fans for so long though, thinking they were in for a big mystery web that would eventually be unravelled.
>>
Here's a good example of the insane way Moffat goes to write scenes in Sherlock compared to Elementary.
In Elementary Sherlock has multiple screens on a wall he uses when he has to look though hours of different camera-footage at once or video-chat with different experts he knows across the country. This is something that people don't have in their homes so it looks special on tv, and it makes for easy and good-looking videochat scenes that make total sense each time they happen.

Sherlock on the other hand had that completely retarded scene where Sherlock is interviewing like ten different people, and he does it by chatting with each one on a separate laptop he's picked up from somewhere and spaced around the room, and when he has no more questions to ask one of them he closes the laptop. All because either Moffat really wanted that "twist" where it turns out he's not actually interviewing them face to face or because he thought it was a good-looking way to show how Sherlock is interviewing multiple people on a computer. It's a fucking ludicrous set-up that just makes you laugh, and then it never happens again because Moffat just wanted to show off in that one scene. Because his characters don't have routines they adhere to, they just act and feel whatever for what the scene needs to be special.

I feel both of these shows lack something important.

Modern renditions of Holmes should be at least in part mysteries to be solved.

Both this shows fail to give the viewer the pieces of the puzzle required to come to a conclusion on their own. Watching arrogant individuals make a deduction and realize sometimes they are fallible or have too few facts, is indeed less rewarding than doing it your self while immersed.

The best Sherlock adaptation was made in America too. Even if it went on too long House was better than any Sherlock based show.

Honestly I think Sherlock works best as a procedural. That's why American versions will always be better. Brits have this obsession with making movies for TV and calling them TV shows. This is also why US Office was better. If the characters are fun you want to spend time with them not race head first into the conclusion of their arcs in 6 episodes.

TV is about familiarity cinema is about being blown away. You sit in a familiar environment, eating familiar food with familiar people and watch TV. You go out to watch a movie to have a mini adventure. Pay money, eat unfamiliar food, sit alongside strangers. The content on these screens should reflect this.

I hate this current so called golden age of TV where people stay in and watch TV shows to be "blown away"

I would have liked Elementary if it had lead with a small multi-episode arc instead of one offs.

Also if they writers were smart enough to do the obvious thing and make it so that there was a previous Watson (John Watson) in Britain who died. Instead of 'muh Irene'.

So Mycroft got Sherlock another Watson when he fell apart. Looking for medically trained people named 'J. Watson' in a close enough position, and stumbled upon Joan.

Both shows were my first formal introduction to the character of Holmes, and I liked both takes on it. I got enough references to original stuff, despite having read it, to really enjoy it.
I watched Sherlock second, and liked it a lot more from the first two fantastic seasons. Then it went full retard. Elementary was a very gradual decline that started very early. The only character in that show that is possible to give a crap about is Holmes himself, but as they turn him more human in each episode, he becomes more boring. And everything is predictable.
Probably gonna keep watching both for now.

It's not just hookers. Holmes has a regular procession of "sex buddies" that Watson is so ised to she actually knows when to make them coffee and call them cabs. It's laughed off in the show by Holmes as being necessary to "feed his body's urges" so he can devote his mind to wotking on cases.

There's absolutely zero romantic attraction between holmes and watson. Indeed holmes has on many times tried to get watson to go on fuck dates just to destress, but she won't. She tried to form proper relationships until holmes proved she's actually a serial monogamist. She can't settle down with anyone for too long as she gets bored and sabotages the relationship to get out of it.

Basically watson is holmes without the obvious addiction. That's why they click so well.

Oh, and female Moriarty was a genius idea. Fite me.

IMO, Moriarty should generally not be one of the main focuses of a Holmes show. For one, it tends to make the show too much like capeshit, with a superhero and a supervillain. Yes, Moriarty is basically a supervillain even in the original stories... but he only really appears in one or two of them, and is hinted at as potentially lurking in the background in a few others. That is, I think, his best role. I think all too often, people who make Holmes adaptations use Moriarty as a crutch in order to avoid having to come up with clever detective stories.

Elementary is incredibly comfy. Just started season 4 and Sherlock's father seems to be a fun dude. I liked Mycroft quite a lot too. I do hope we'll get more Moriarty soon, she has been notably absent for a while.

It's also funny whenever the manlet detective tries to look tough. Like in one episode he had these baller sunglasses and little buddy was trying so hard to look cool in them.

I didn't have an issue until a friend told me that it was a little unrealistic that she'd built up such an extensive criminal empire over a short period. It shouldn't have broken my suspension of disbelief but it did and I couldn't stay into the show.

She's a good actress though.
>>
>>87771627
I actually dislike Elementary's Moriarty, I just never thought it clicked. I like their versions of Mycroft and Morland, though.

I think the big difference is that Elementary's Sherlock is actually a likable person. He can be an ass sometimes, but he still supports his friends and tries to be a better person. Cumberbatch's Sherlock is just insufferable and should be buried in a ditch somewhere.

He refuses to believe Waston that the Earth orbits the sun because he lacks in astronomical knowledge. He even has no interest in proving him wrong because he doesn't care.

Total victorian sperglord, but that's why I love him

Isn't Moriarty in Elementary played by Smirkfu?
I know that's 10000000% better than that faggy fuck who played in Sherlock.

They mention this in Sherlock Season 1 where they visit an observatory. He mentions he doesn't know what the planets are named and Watson derides him for this. Then he rants about how he doesn't need to know to solve crimes and that it's irrelevant. And something normal people know and care about.

It's close but they still include the spiteful side in to it.

>>87773404
Yes.

Sometimes I wish we had live threads from Elementary.

when is elementary back on?
>>
>>87773467
They did?
I still wonder how that Holmes would be able to live in the modern world. Computers, T.V, Radio, DNA testing it would all be beyond him.

He would have no way of understanding it all by his own experiments. Modern achievements like that can only be done by hundreds of people. Long gone are the days of single inventors. That's why I think modern Holmes doesn't work unless totally re-written as a character.

The episode about the hounds of baskerville was pretty good, but you're right about the rest of the episodes.
>>
>>87759978
The books didn't do that either. It's been a while since I read them but I remember that more often than not the solution to the puzzle was a total asspull, or at least impossible to deduct with the information given.
>>
>>87773766
They try early on (Series 1) to preserve the character by showing him conduct experiments to "see what would happen" - flogging a corpse for example but as the show goes on they forget he does this or that he even solves crime.

>I still wonder how that Holmes would be able to live in the modern world. Computers, T.V, Radio, DNA testing it would all be beyond him.

They sacrifice that part of him and instead have him use it to his advantage. Not completely modern but certainly uses websites and phones to get information.

I thought Sherlock was solid until S2 finale. They shouldn't have killed Moriarty off if they wanted to continue.
>>
>>87764589
way too old for sherlock

>>87758992
You could clearly tell that even the writers were not really fond of her so they threw Jim back in the mix just so that the S4 finale would get slightly more bearable.

I hope you're joking. Seriously.

I got to do science consulting for Elementary this week. Was pretty cool.

it's interesting imo, and a lot of the nitbits of information presented in the show is kinda fascinating to look up afterwards, see pic related

some of the mysteries are interesting as well, the elevator murder episode comes to mind

later seasons get a fair bit of drama and stuff which is kinda hit and miss, and end up being too much at times if you are not into such stuff

gotta also say the intro to the show is very well done and memorable

>>87774435
greentext. also, when will it be back on?
>>
>>87774453
Think he was talking bout Elementary there, bud.
>>
>>87758278
No, that's all there is to say. It's shit, but on this thread you'll mostly find hardcore fans who love it.

If you think you'd be hardcore....go for it.
>>
>>87774677
No idea. They're writing episodes now. They needed to talk to a geologist to make sure their science wasn't completely bullshit, and someone on staff knew me.

I might get a credit, which would be neat.
>>
>characters that ruined a season
>>
>>87774887
a couple months ago another anon said that he guest starred in a season 4 episode. a lot of nobodies in the show.
I'll look out for the geology related episode and think of you when I see it.
>>
>>87775070
It involves erosion in a river!
>>
>>87773766
That's why House is the best modern SH adaptation. SH as detective in 2017 is simply too implausible to make a good show of.
>>
Sherlock is piss, season 4 was laughably bad and Moffat is barely smart enough to be an English teacher but he thinks he's some sort of 21st century Shakespeare.

But don't get it twisted ameribongs, elementary is a cucked piece of procedural shit, and if you think otherwise, you are a product of ameriburger thinking
>>
>>87758278
If you just need some comfy procedural to watch while eating or unwinding or whatever go for it. Don't expect anything great though.
>>
>>87775528
Is it good enough to have on in the background while playing games?

Soviet Sherlock best in world
All other Holmeses are made for little girls.
