Written before the finale of the first season

There is also the last two-hour special edition, elementary, which is the legendary American version of Sherlock Holmes, which is about to finale the first season. As a fan of the BBC's long-faced curly blessing, from the initial distrust of sherlock and female peanuts who are not handsome, elegant and hunched, to five stars, this drama has indeed subverted my general impression of Sherlock. He is more violent, weaker, and less accessible. But it's also more real.


From this point of view, this image has also subverted the image of super geniuses since Sheldon and Fu Fu. In those super geniuses, all the unkindness can be explained as cuteness, they are innocent in nature, and their emotional intelligence is 0. It's nothing. From this standpoint, we would feel that being friends with them is not really difficult. As long as you try to understand him, don't care about the sharp irony or direct pain, in other words, it is to be broad-minded, take care of them a little bit in life, and despise them a little bit in emotional intelligence. They, in the final analysis, are still cute enough from the current aesthetic point of view.
But this version of sherlock is not the case. First of all, he is not cute. Secondly, he is really taking drugs. Once again, when he was in trouble, he was really emotional, not calm, let alone graceful. He will fail, he will be at a loss, he will be irritable, and his friends will be frightened.

What I like more is that the initial relationship between this version of sherlock and peanuts is purely unrelated. Although I know this is an American drama, sooner or later, the two will get together. But what makes me happy is that their initial feelings in the first season are quite well grasped. I have also complained about Liu Yuling's appearance, but now I feel more and more that this is a too suitable candidate. She played a stubborn, considerate, and neutral Watson.


Sherlock valued Watson very much and hoped she would stay, and hope she would work with him. And Watson was not so much attracted by Sherlock and his life, but rather Sherlock ignited the restless factor in her heart. Therefore, in this edition, although Watson initially appeared as a thorough sherlock's caregiver—rehabilitation companion—she is also the one who has undergone the most thorough transformation.
She is no longer Sherlock's caregiver, not his assistant—but his partner, another consultant detective.


Watson is no longer a supporting role. The supporting role here does not refer to the supporting role in the drama. The BBC version of Peanuts has quite a lot of roles, but his identity is still used to set off and record Sherlock to some extent. But in this edition, we see an independent Watson, a woman who has chosen such a career voluntarily. She was not just out of loyalty to her friends, not embarking on such a path in ignorance, but to truly complete herself.
From this perspective, Sherlock is no longer just a friend to Watson, but similar to a supervisor. He left Watson not only because of his own needs, but because he keenly discovered the fire in Watson's heart. They all know that they are a class of people, but Sherlock has a higher IQ, and Watson is better than EQ.


So a huge gimmick in Sherlock Holmes, the only consultant detective in the world no longer exists here. This play is not so much a one-man show by Sherlock Holmes, it is more about how the two stumbling and stumbling to support each other in this sinister world.


Irene is a hurdle to Sherlock, and all women treat him like air before the hurdle passes. Including Watson. He looked at Watson's vision, and his current position did not contain a hint of gender. I especially like this. I like a truly independent woman to appear in American dramas, getting along with super geniuses with an equal personality. (By the way, you can compare amy and penny in TBBT). This may also be the reason why I have a special preference for this play. I admire Watson's decisiveness, calmness, timeliness, and moderation, let alone her dressing, hey, it is simply the benchmark of my life.


American dramas have a long time span and a large span, so the screenwriters can calmly lay out the plot and unfold the story. Therefore, the plot level of this version of Sherlock is relatively richer. As I write this, the more I write, the more I feel that I am writing a soft article, so stop writing and look forward to the finale and the second season! Um! make a fist!

    Basically, I won't be watching the second season.

    Unit dramas, pull films, and learn about the four-act drama structure of American dramas. . . I thought it would develop in the direction of revenge for his girlfriend. Unexpectedly, Irene, the deceased girlfriend that Sherlock Holmes was thinking of, was actually the big boss.
