As a big fan of the British BBC series Sherlock, I was very hesitant to watch the American Elementary. I even didn’t watched the first season, but now the second season started and the general thoughts about Elementary weren’t as bad as I expected, I was willing to give it a try.
Tonight the 3rd episode of the season, We Are Everyone, aired. I can’t help myself to compare the show to Sherlock. And compared to that, Elementary is of way lesser quality than the BBC show. But if I try to watch it without Sherlock in mind, Elementary is a pretty decent show. A female Watson seemed like a bad idea, but the chemistry with this version of Sherlock Holmes is working pretty well.
The plot of We Are Everyone is loosely based on the leaks of qualified information over the past years with Wikileaks and Snowden for example, and the hackers group Anonymous. The writers worked this out into a very interesting story, in which Holmes figured out the solution as usual in a way that is quite impressive.
The back pilot of Watson having a profile on a dating site isn’t the most interesting (except for the trains and pizza’s), but there are ways it could turn out to be interesting after all, as long as it won’t be a next Irene Adler/Moriarty type of character.
Overall We Are Everyone was a decent episode, although it didn't win me over yet as a fan yet.
