I'm not fan of neither of those shows, Sherlock was pretty meh, but last seson was bad, but Elementary was simply terrible from the beginning.

Elementary=Detective show about a detective
Sherlock=Idiots writing about someone smart who happens to be a detective

because in elementary Sherlock is actually a fucking human being and Watson isn't a useless pile of shit

plus better Moriarty

i hate how they turned Moriarty into a jaredletojoker in Sherlock

So you like them both?

I was embarrassed for that actor. He wasn't bad, he just was given a shitty direction. I felt sorry for him, his family probably watched his performance.

He was far more enjoyable in Locke.

NO!
Moriarty is also Irene

A lot of Elementary is a cluster fuck but it does find itself.

Didn't have a problem with that, considering Irene is just a character appearing in only one of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Better than the spy shite they pulled in Sherlock in my opinion to be honest famalam

Elementary is House MD rip-off stealing Conan Doyle names.

Sherlock is Monk rip-off stealing Conan Doyle names.

Better rip-off wins.

Its not like British is worthy of looking down on it. They still didnt manage to make anything even near the level of Soviet adaptation.

At least the British Poirot shows are ok.

>>69144451
Sherlock is so insensitive.
At least we now have a proud muslim mayor in London.

Well yes but being better than Sherlock isn't really difficult, It's like being called the gentlest rapist.

I hate this show, the science and writing in it is just fucking terrible.

Guy gets crushed by something thrown outta a window on top of him.

Character:

>Their knowledge of physics to do something like that would have to be considerable!

Bullshit. Do you think niggas study physics when dropping a ball through a hoop?

The writing in Sherlock at least made me think the writers were smarter than me.

With elementary I think of some fat neckbear who didn't even finish high school writing this.

Elementary writing
>proper detective stories, with motives, clues, deduction and outcomes

Sherlock
>deus ex machina ima genius it just has to be cool not gonna explain shit
>>
>>69144628
>Sherlock is actually a fucking human being
The whole point of Sherlock Holmes is being above human beings, being superior, Sherlock is basically the proto-capeshit

I think you're just too stupid to understand Elementary and easily impressionable to fall for the stupid shit they pull in Sherlock.

I don't like them, I tolerate Sherlock a bit more.
>>
>>69145202
Sherlock became shit when Moffat became full on delusional.

But Elementary have inconsistent stories, the deductions don't make any sense and half the time you can guess the ending of the show. Seriously Sherlock doesn't seem that smart in this show.

I'm stupid because I recognize it when Sherlock says stupid shit to sound smart?

No.. my feeling...
>>
>>69145295
Umh, no? He was a drug addict, possibly abutist, basically living in his mother basement (not litterally) and being a disgrace for his family and ACTUAL genius brother.

And both TV series in question did a point to highlight exactly this broken part of him, rather than just showing him merely an excentric.

All of them born the same year, Ironically Julia Roberts who is not the most attractive, looks the youngest, the rest looks attractive, but aged.

I feel really bad for Pamela, she is a mess.

IMO Lucy look pretty good for a 48yo

>>69146260
Castle is the worst because the only draw of the series was whether Beckett and Castle fuck and when they did, there was no tension anymore. Moreover Castle's presence in the police is unrealistic and the character himself is annoying.
>>
>>69147444
Castle is best since it doesnt try to be "realistic". Its exactly as the book "Castle" writes - fantastic paperback fiction for quick read.

What other show does have detective solve Star Treck murders, actual "invisible suits", non-retconed supernatural artifacts and other silly staff thats completely canon.
