Simple reasoning

Compared with the famous Sherlock, which was later filmed in the United Kingdom, this TV series pays more attention to simple reasoning. No chatter, just a slightly neurotic Holmes who couldn't take care of himself. What makes people unexpected is Watson's actor, so that the play does not rely on selling corruption, but focuses on solving cases.

The Sherlock Holmes who solved the case in order to solve the case presented at the beginning of the series made me not feel the charisma of the detective in the original book. With the deepening of Watson's company, I realized that this is a Sherlock Holmes who has suffered psychological trauma and is waiting for intervention and self-healing.

With the unfolding of the series, in addition to solving the case ingeniously, the image of humanistic care slowly returned. Unfortunately, there are 24 episodes in a season, each episode is a short story, and each episode solves a case. In addition, there is also the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Watson that needs to be shown, so the length of each episode to present the case itself is not enough. Not enough details. It would be better if every two episodes were a story.

Also, individuals don't really like Sherlock Holmes who can't take care of himself. A detective who is good at precise reasoning should be instinctive to take care of himself. If you say that you get caught in some emotions occasionally, it is also due to boredom or the aforementioned blow. Or, this season's foreshadowing is just to express a change in the relationship with Watson.
