I've been watching 'Elementary' and enjoyed Johnny Lee Miller's Sherlock for the first season or so, but S3 opened this week and it's terrible. It's ALL about Lucy Lui as Watson and Sherlock is just sidelined, becoming more and more pathetic and wooden. It's lost it's way big time, Sherlock is supposed to be the star, not a side kick. Damn you Elementary for luring me in.
Johnny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch were in the stage play of Frankenstein together a couple of years back. It was sensational. They took turns to play Frankenstein and the monster. My friend went to see Johnny play the monster and I saw Benedict play him the week later. And we compared notes and disagreed over who we thought was the best doctor/monster.
So it didn't surprise me that they both were playing Sherlock in different productions. I was very interested to see how they would approach the character and it didn't disappoint. They played very different versions, unfortunately the writing in Elementary is letting Johnny down but I do still think he's a fine actor. My fave is still Cumberbatch and Freeman as Doctor Watson. He's wonderful.
