Hello, I'm back with a review after my tiny-little hiatus. Today I'm reviewing the most recent episode of Elementary, which is a television show that reimagines Sherlock Holmes (ya know, sorta like the British version, Sherlock.) in present day form, and has him and Joan Watson consulting for the NYPD. (Yeah, Watson's a woman).
Admittedly, before I watched the show, I didn't think it'd be any good. Despite not being a fan of Sherlock Holmes back then, I thought how silly it was to have Watson to be a woman, and I found the premiese of the show not to be any good. Then, my dad starting watching the show (he's a fan of Sherlock Holmes), and then me and my mom got to watching it, and it's surprisingly good. But, before I continue any further of my journey into the show, let's start the actual review, shall we?
Synopsis: Written By Me
Sherlock and Watson are put on the case when a man recieves two severed ears through the mail. But when they start to investigate, the case takes a strange turn. Meanwhile, Lestrade attempts to solve the mystery of who mugged him.

Review:
The episode was funny, mostly between Sherlock and Watson's banter, but the ending with Lestrade was funny too. The case itself was quite...odd, to say the least, and it seemed quite, well, impossible. I was surprised that the case itself really didn't have a plot twist to add onto the level of mystery and shock, but, alas, it did not. The ending was cool between Sherlock and Watson, and I'm definitely looking forward to next week's episode.
Overview:
3/5
Note: I'm starting to read the Sherlock Holmes books, and I'm currently on A Study in Scarlet.
This is the promo for 'Ears to you', but I cannot post the next episode's promo, as no one has it up.
Did you watch this week's Elementary? If so, what did you think of it? Comment Below!

Lestrade's story was the best part of the episode, mostly because of the humor. But I agree, not much else of the episode was particularly impressive.

It wasn't quite as good as previous episodes, and the ending to the main mystery didn't really make any sense-not to me, anyway. The only thing that got me was that it was mostly filled with red herrings and not many plot twists, and I love a good plot twist that'll make my head explode. So, yeah, in that area is was 'eh'. But the rest of the episode was alright, particularly the humor. I especially loved the ending when he was SPOILERS trying to disarm the bomb, and asked Watson if she'd run away, and she replied 'nah' and continued to cook.
