Yeah, the choice to make Watson a woman seems like this is going to be like Moonlighting. If Sherlock were the asexual neurotic cokehead he is in the books, he wouldn't be as marketable on CBS. Which is too bad, because Sherlock's "freakishness" is what makes him a cool character. That's the thing the BBC series really got right--that Sherlock and Moriarty are these two guys who think they're gods, and that they're separated from the rest of us "normal people".
A coked up loner genius going on adventures would be a show I'd watch.
Welcome to the new thread for CBS's lame sounding version of Sherlock Holmes. Basically too many posts about this in the BBC Sherlock thread... so... voilà.
Who's writing this show, I'm still not on board but it's slowly building up...
