I enjoy Elementary, partly because I like Jonny Lee Miller. But, I think it's a well-done show.

I did catch half of an episode of this a while ago, and I must admit it didn't grab me at the time. I might give it another try though, seeing as y'all seem to like it quite a lot.

Thing is I've been a Holmes fan pretty much since I was old enough to read adult literature, and one of the things I love about the world of Holmes et al is the lovely escapism of being immersed in Conan Doyle's portrayal of Victorian/Edwardian Britain.

It took me about three episodes to forgive UK telly for their recent 're-imagining' and enjoy that on its own terms... I'm not sure I'm quite ready for a remake of Sherlock Holmes in New York and a gender-reassigned Watson just yet :p

We just wrapped up with Broadchurch. It was done exceptionally well, although I did figure out who the murderer was about 3 episodes in. David Tennet does a great job as the main detective, although, the woman who plays his partner Ellie, is amazing. Her character has some of the widest ranging changes in her emotional adventure throughout the case because she knows everyone involved and all the suspects. I definitely recommend this show.

We have caught one episode of Sleepy Hollow and I feel like that it has potential to be good. It starts off well and it shows promise to grow. My fear is that it also has the ability to turn into LOST, where it meanders through various mysteries never quite answering any questions and always asking more.

Broadchurch (season finale)

Damn! I would have never guessed that's who the murderer was. Brilliant television.

Really i thought it was a little obvious by the time they revealed it. But that didnt take anything away from the powerful finale. The acting was brilliant.

I was going to say no, but I just looked it up on Wiki and it seems very familiar ... I might have seen it a long time ago.

I'll see if I can get a copy, I really like George C. Scott.
