TV Review: Elementary Premier

I know I'm posting this a little late, but I did watch the episode live.  Things have just been insane and I'm behind on a lot.  This is going to be a short little review.

It's so nice to get back into this show, like sinking into a warm bath.  It made me laugh out loud, and Rhys Ifans' Mycroft was great (better than I expected, for sure).  His interactions with Sherlock and Watson were wonderfully hilarious.  The case was strong, it really held the episode together.  In fact, the only real complaint I had was with... Sherlock himself.

He's a recovering addict, I get that.  But his take on fame as an addiction (which can be true) and his attitude towards his old friend seemed so out of character.  I guess I can really blame the writers for this one.  Miller was just as wonderful as always playing the neurotic sleuth. 

For a premier it was good.  It gets 4 stars, which may be a little generous, but may not.  Check back in later for a more timely review of Once Upon A Time.
