elementary
Dec. 10th, 2012 10:29 am...my dear watson.
Since everyone's talking about it, I thought I'd give Elementary a try. I'm an episode in so far, and I'm quite charmed. The plots are paper thin, of course, but let's face it - who watches crime procedurals for the plots? :D
What's awesome is, of course, the Holmes/Watson dynamic. I understand from general fannish osmosis that it's purely platonic as the show progresses, which suits me fine, although I don't think I'm averse to the notion of pairing them in fic at all. I also really, really love Miller's Holmes - I love the manic energy, and the sense that he's always straining against some unseen boundary. He kind of reminds me, a little, of the movieverse John Constantine, though I can't put my finger on why.
Minor niggle, though, the dialogue is way too quiet in the sound mix, so I wind up half-missing a bunch of the talking. In a bantery show about intellectual deductions, that's a problem.
