I'll give Elementary a couple more weeks, but Holmes is far too manic for my taste so far. I fear it will end up as a common police procedural with characters named Holmes and Watson, but have very little to do with Doyle's originals.
The one set in modeern times with two men in England Sherlock, is covert homosexual show. All the lesbians and homosexuals I know love it because of its implied homosexuality.
Sort of like Glee. Becoming more out there with each show.
I agree completely. Oddly enough I thought Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone were the best actors of them all. The problem was their movies were what I think they called “quota quickies” back then in Britain. No actors could have saved some of those scripts. They were at least watchable tho.
I do remember one movie in which Nigel Bruce sang “Loch Lamond” with a girl who was portrayed as a professional singer. You could tell he was not lip synching but actually singing. He had one heck of a voice.
I have not even seen the latest BBC series but have heard good things about them.
