Elementary!
Dec. 11th, 2019 01:34 amWhoa, haven't watched Elementary in a year, but the other day I saw commercials for the current season on Global and they're in fucking LONDON with pixie-what's-her-name who looks like
sabotabby's ex-roommate (not that much, but lossy memory, etc) so that peeked my curiosity.
So I need to catch up, fired up season 6, and OMG I can't believe how contrived everything is, until I hit episode 5 or 6, get reminded that the investigations are often just excuses for the personal drama around it, and it looks like they've finally launched the season's background plot arch properly.
And now they had a sweet episode that made me legit cry because of how tender Joan & Sherlock were towards a Situation in the end. Weeeee!
It's already 1:30am and I'm probably going to line in another episode, so unfortunately this is going to kill my sleep for a little while...

WTF was that? This was the most unsatisfying story arc of the whole series. Suddenly Sherlock has a secret friend who's not introduced to us and never explained, until the end, with the most lazy excuse of all time. The whole plot with SBK ends up being convoluted and the resolution unsatisfying. This ain't no criminal mastermind.
I was enjoying this season and they just did this lazy writing. Just a little more set up would have been great, for starters.
This writer is more generous than me (full spoiler review), and sees some good in how this was put together. But humpppf.
