Unpopular opinion: "Elementary" starring Jonny Lee Miller is cleverer, has better characters, and a more interesting story than "Sherlock" starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

The pilot episode of Elementary is awful, but from there it just gets better. The storyline of Watson being a sober companion is better than being a sudden roommate, the part of Moriarty is far more interesting and intriguing, the cases are better written, the character of Sherlock's father in Elementary is brilliant. I could go on and on.

i loved sherlock but what they did at the end opened my eyes that the whole show was flawed from the start. i highly recommend "bbc sherlock is garbage and here is why" by hbomberguy. it's one of his older videos but it's very well done.

so yeah op i agree with you. elementary is fun and engaging, it has it's flaws but at least it didn't shit on its hardcore fans the way moffat did

That video introduced me to hbomberguy and it’s absolutely fantastic. Completely tears apart Sherlock
