Okay but seriously

Stop saying that every show the US makes is shit and every show the UK makes is magical because it’s not true.

I do take issue with CBS doing a modern-day Sherlock Holmes show right after BBC’s Sherlock got big, but that said, Sherlock Holmes is not a new idea, and several US TV shows are based on the Holmes/Watson dynamic to varying extents because it works very well and people like it (House, Psych, Bones, etc). 

They do seem to be taking it in a different direction, so it’s quite possible that they could tell the story in a new and interesting way. Let’s reserve judgment for when it actually airs eh?
