Fully knowing that most shows take a little time to find their footing, but I watch so much and often lose interest in procedurals pretty quick (excepting <i>Castle</i> and the USA programs). I loved the leads, their characterizations and chemistry, but that's not always enough for me. It could re-examine canon, but it doesn't, so that's out. Or it would need good mysteries, and the first two were not good mysteries. The first was boring, the second completely nonsensical. Then the third and fourth came along, which not only had great twists, but set up foes so captivating I want to see them come back again. That's when I became hooked, and it helps that they're starting to build on the mystery of Sherlock's past.<br /><br />I really like your theory that this could be somewhat of a followup to the original stories, that he's already gone through the canon, but without the grounding of a Watson to keep him from taking a dark plunge through it all. I hope this is ultimately where they go with things.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.com
