Don't misread the heading to mean that I think Elementary is an outstanding show. Elementary is a solid show with some quirky elements which has had occasional moments of brilliance. Some of the crimes were quite creative. Also, Elementary has produced over 100 episodes for lasting enjoyment. Contrast this with Sherlock which went from an overdone, cheesy start, led by the atrocious overacting of Cumberbatch, down to being absolutely the worst Sherlock Holmes serial in history. What is wrong with British television? So many bad writers these last few years.
