my problem has always been that holmes and watson don't seem like actual friends, who like each other, let alone love each other.

this was always my issue with the series and other than Reichenbach Fall i never fully got it. maybe it's just because Elementary has so much more time to build out the relationship, but i found myself comparing the two and Sherlock always felt like it came up short

fwiw i heard some stuff about the latest that made me weirdly relieved i'd bailed on the show earlier, ymmv though.
