Title: Really? 'Sherlock' in name only...
Review: I'm really surprised how many people seem to like this show! It's just another dumbed down mystery show. I'm also quite surprised how many reviewers said they were Sherlock Holmes fans, since this show has NOTHING to do with A.C. Doyles Sherlock Holmes except the blatant ripoff of the name! Doyle is never even mentioned in the credits for Petes sake! I've only watched 2 episodes, and that's about 1 too many; the 'mysteries' are trite, the 'solves' are ridiculously simplistic and unimaginative, and the acting is 'meh' at best. Comparing this to the true-to-literature, but modern era, 'SHERLOCK' starring Benedict Cumberbatch is like comparing Van Gogh to Kincaid! I watched this because I love the Holmes stories and I thought it might have potential, but without any connection whatsoever to those timeless stories, it's just another crappy show.
Is the review positive or negative?
