    Sherlock beat John ****ing locke 100 times out of 100

    Yeah Cumberbatch's Sherlock was so watchable, it's a tough round this one. The show ended up near driving me insane though. IMO, serious drop-off in quality after the first season.

    I'll say it again ....

    Elementary > Sherlock

    So there! :P

    the way


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Locke progresses to Round 3. No further votes forthcoming so I accepted berettaman's this one time cos I'm nice like that :) 6-1 the scoreline

    Réally that's interesting, I thought (even though) I wasn't a fan of Moriarty over acting at first watch the 2nd season with him were very good.

    From memory so probably wrong each season did have at least one stand out episode


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Quintus because he's one of the best bastards out there.

    I like elementary but I couldn't agree less, it's super americanised, I was a big fan of story lines though that kept relevant with science breakthroughs in the real world though,

    Yeah I'm working from memory too, it could be seasons 3 and 4 that I felt dropped-off. Haha yeah there was some over-acting with Moriarty, but I thought the writing did him a disservice later on.

    That's okay. You're perfectly entitled to be wrong. :)

    John Watson - Martin Freeman is always very watchable

    Batiatus
    He was despicable but in an entertaining way


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    After a mispost two mins early, the clock does in fact run out for Batiatus... 4-3 victory for John Watson
