I always appreciated this show for giving such a humanizing, introspective portrait of Holmes. I'll always love Cumberbatch but as I get older I start to see how heightened and even cartoonish they went with that depiction, even though it was wildly entertaining and brilliantly written. Elementary's Sherlock feels more like a real person.
I swear this show understands what a person that is a recovering addict is like and how it never just goes away it’s always there. And we’re always worried what if someone happens that causes us to fall off the wagon. It also shows what grief is like(in season 1) and I felt it had one of the most accurate depictions of a relapse I’ve ever seen. Idk what I’m trying to say but this version of Sherlock will always be my favorite because he’s human and he has feelings
@@Javedskyknight he’s a very underrated actor! I wish he got more roles because he’s so so good. It annoys me when people say that bbc Sherlock is the bets when they didn’t even watch elementary(my issues with the other is when he deduced things it came off like a superpower and f you if you wanna know how he figured things out while elementary showed him figure things out and explains why, like how he found the panic room)

I am a huge Sherlock fan, books, movies and tv shows and I absolutely agree. It is simply brilliant, everything about him. And this is also my favorite Watson, which as a fan, I thought I was going to hate when I decided to give this show a chance. And what's great about it is that the merit goes 50/50 between amazing acting and amazing writing. They both did something unique with their characters but the Sherlock working on his sobriety and the Watson trying to help as much as he lets her it simply amplifies and gives greater meaning to the relationship. I could talk about this show for hours.
@@GustavoPietrafesa yeah, I'm a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes too. I've read the books, I've seen almost all TV shows and movies, played the video games, watched the anime and Sherlock from Elementary is my favorite. It's a shame that the show it's so underrated.
Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my favourite characters. Elementary is one of my favourite adaptations. Sherlock is a puzzle box with a riddle at the core. Elementary is a puzzle box which, at its core, has heart.
@@Javedskyknight I love how Sherlock solved a case in season 2 when he and Watson find a white liquid and think it's milk, but find out it's actually a melted 3D printed gun.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios Memories! yeah that was a great episode, I thought it was very interesting how the amount of gunpowder in the bullet played a role too!
That this arc started SIX SEASONS IN just really hammers its significance home. It's not even just for this season, it's remarked upon and continues for the rest of the show. We get to know Sherlock in his totality for 120 episodes, and the 121st episode kicked off with us seeing him not only impaired but knowing there may not be any way for him to return to being unimpaired. That rattles me.
As someone who underwent a traumatic brain injury and is still undergoing prolonged post concussion syndrome, I can tell that the depiction of post concussion syndrome in this season is really accurate and relatable.
After season 4 the cases started lacking and became more cookie cutter procedural junk but two things this show never lost was the incredible acting by the actors and the wonderful character development of Sherlock, Joan, Bell and Gregson. These two elements kept Elementary worth watching all seven seasons.
The big issue for me was that they lost Watson as the audience stand in, as the character was in all other versions. Watson was never foolish, always intelligent in their own ways, yet as Elementary developed it was as if Watson had that same 'spark' that Sherlock did.
@@Javedskyknight of course I did... Can't forget... Joey, Phantom Phreak, Cereal Killer w his toothbrush, Lord Nikon & Plague... HACK THE PLANET!!! They're trashing our rights!!!
I still think that if Nelsan Ellis hadn’t died then Sherlock’s injuries would’ve included more hallucinations of Shinwell and Sherlock’s mother and the night she died, sparking both Sherlock’s need to become a detective and his addictions. Kind of like the Seven Percent Solution.
I loved this show even when they couldn't get Natalie Dormer back(due to scheduling issues I believe). I have never read any of Arthur Conan Doyle's works(yet) not even A Study In Red, but I feel like there could have been a better final villain(and by that I don't mean Moriarty, can't replace that character ever). I think this is a good twist on a character who has this mind that sees beyond what most even among genius communities can see, and this injury though temporary is real and it affects his mind(which in a way is who Sherlock is) and therefore taking a toll on him on envisioning a future not knowing where it's headed and that is scary especially with this character who's known for knowing, seeing, understanding. I did enjoy seeing this perspective of Sherlock(I mean I like him as he is, whether he's naturally cold or not).

yes - the other Sherlocks are now 'fun' - this one is real
Ok fine, I’ll rewatch elementary for the third time
I'm on my 5th

2:03 his voice when he says "how's my brain going to heal" just wrecks me and brings tears to my eyes

In my opinion, Sherlock from Elementary it's a much better character then any other Sherlock.
I am a huge Sherlock fan, books, movies and tv shows and I absolutely agree. It is simply brilliant, everything about him. And this is also my favorite Watson, which as a fan, I thought I was going to hate when I decided to give this show a chance.

@ AndrewSp
The Sherlock from elementary and the Sherlock from Sherlock BBC Are my favorites.
Cumberbatch was also great as a Sherlock
@@jezalb2710 his Sherlock was too unrealistic for me and had almost no development as a character.
Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my favourite characters. Elementary is one of my favourite adaptations. Sherlock is a puzzle box with a riddle at the core. Elementary is a puzzle box which, at its core, has heart.
The most human Sherlock
this man just needs a hug
I truly loved this modern times take on Sherlock Holmes, and miss it
Me too!! that show deserved to run longer! I loved it!
@@Javedskyknight I love how Sherlock solved a case in season 2 when he and Watson find a white liquid and think it's milk, but find out it's actually a melted 3D printed gun.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios Memories! yeah that was a great episode, I thought it was very interesting how the amount of gunpowder in the bullet played a role too!
@@Javedskyknight that brilliance was astonishing. Especially how Watson noticed the rings on the floor left by the dog dishes before Sherlock did.
I miss this show so much

Amazing, the best of Sherlock holmes
Controversial take (maybe): Elementary and the Enola Holmes movies are my favorite Sherlock Holmes adaptations.
As someone who underwent a traumatic brain injury and is still undergoing prolonged post concussion syndrome, I can tell that the depiction of post concussion syndrome in this season is really accurate and relatable.
i do wish Netflix would take elementry up - i managed to get all the dvds except the fianel season, which is so annouing!
Hulu has it, if that helps
Amazon Prime Video has it.

Yeah, last season... Not so hot. Final episode, underwhelming.
Jonny is great
My mother says I remind her of this Sherlock. I don't know if it's good or not, but it's something lol.
Sherlock has come a long way from Zero Cool/Crash Override
Damn! you saw Hackers!!!? That film was fun!!
@@Javedskyknight of course I did... Can't forget... Joey, Phantom Phreak, Cereal Killer w his toothbrush, Lord Nikon & Plague... HACK THE PLANET!!! They're trashing our rights!!!
@bamabarrelracer "call me...the Plague"
"Okay, Mister The Plague"

wait what?
I really hated the Shinwell story arc. I wasn't much of a fan of Kitty, but there were some good episodes
This is me every day lmao
This show has so much to offer compared to Sherlock.
Oh, poor baby….

What’s his medical issue here? Watched them all and I can’t recall.
Post concussion symptoms
@@gloriousg thnks
He was dealing with TBI (traumatic Brain injury) which had the effect of him becoming forgetfull
@@gloriousg Wasnt it TBI? its been so long haha
@@Javedskyknight It was PCS, I just watched recently
❤❤❤❤❤
Is elementary available in 4k?
I dont have it myself no.
1080p is what I have
Don't think 4k is available
On paper this show should have sucked. I mean-Sherlock recovering addict, Watson-a woman, Moriarty-ditto. And yet it was absolutely brilliant
Oh believe me judging by how they'd do the show today in the wrong hands it would've sucked. Thank God for Rob Doherty, Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu.
absolutely agree...!!
Quit the akt, Sherlock! I don't believe you! Quit the akt, please!
