I've only seen three episodes/movies, and I like Tim from the Office as Watson, but does no one else find the characterization of Holmes overwrought and kind of obvious?

Well, yeah.

But, then, CT's writing jumped the shark ages ago with the introduction of that Yetti character. How is that guy even remotely plausible?

I find if you look at that Yetti guy as an intentionally broad satire of Middle America, you understand his role in CT's ouevre makes much more sense.

The same sort of thing can probably be said for Armin Tamzarian, but that's cold comfort.

Whatever.  Jump the Shark jumped the shark when Henry Winkler jumped over that shark (the second time).

Also, it sounds like Tank would be more interested in that other Sherlock Holmes show where Lucy Lui plays Watson.

How does a show that sucked from the start jump the shark?

This show rules.  Jeremy Brett was the best Homes, but I'm glad Benedict Cumberbatch isn't trying to recreate that and instead playing him as a bit manic.  It works fine.

I love all the callbacks to the original stories they put in, especially in the first episode. It put fanboys like me at ease because it's obvious how much the writers love the source material.

Also, this show has the best take on Moriarty I've ever seen anywhere.
