Benedict Cumberbatch:'Sherlock' vs. 'Elementary': Compare the two Holmes shows (POP CANDY)


I can't believe Season 2 of PBS' Sherlock is almost over -- we were just getting started!

The British detective drama has successfully reinvented Arthur Conan Doyle's characters, thanks to smart writing, creative presentation and a talented cast led by Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

It's pretty shocking, then, that CBS has decided to debut its own Sherlock series this fall. Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as -- get this -- Dr. Joan Watson.



Do we really need a dumbed-down version of what the Brits are already executing so well? And please don't tell me Holmes and Watson are going to get romantically involved ...

I can't WAIT for this!! And what I love the most about it is just HOW much it PISSES you idiots off!! BBC Sherlock is fine, but it's not any more original than any other incarnation of Holmes that's been done before. It's hilarious how you all think that modern Sherlock Holmes is some "innovative" idea...LOL! SUCK IT, you pretentious bitches. BWAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!! It will be FANTASTIC. XD
