Elementary

[Miriel]

Not even comparing it to the BBC version, I thought it was pretty weak television. Not terrible, but not good at all. Worse than equivalent crime solving shows. Shows like Lie to Me aren't exactly award winning shows, but I still liked watching them on occasion for mindless fun. Elementary didn't engage me at all. I thought it was boring, I thought the leads weren't organic in their roles. Sherlock especially felt too try hard. I bet it gets a full season at least though. It's just mediocre enough to appeal to a wide audience.
