Elementary
Produced by CBS Television Studios
Review by Katie Rose
There
have been seemingly an endless amount of Sherlock Holmes remakes ever since Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the novels back in the 1800’s. In the last few years
there seems to have been a resurgence of Sherlock fever. However there is one,
I believe, that is the best. That is the TV show Elementary. I can practically hear the outcry of offended voices
saying “ BBC’s Sherlock is a hundred
times better than that American crap!” (I
have literally heard this), but I believe that Elementary not only does a better
job of representing women, but of bringing a level of diversity to television
that is extremely rare. I don’t want to spend my review comparing Elementary to BBC’s Sherlock, but that show is the reason so many people refuse to give
Elementary a chance, so I feel like I
have to at some points.
