WATSON

[samhexum]

I watched Watson for the second consecutive week last night. It's your typical network medical drama; it's nothing special but good enough and it pairs well with FBI on Monday so I have a new show to watch.

These were the third and fourth episodes of the second season. There were 13 episodes in the first season.  I just finished the first five of those so of course I get a new thing to watch and I'll knock it all off in two days.

There is a whole minor sub storyline about Sherlock Holmes and Watson and Moriarty, which I couldn't care less about because I never read a single one of the books or watched any of the movies about Sherlock Holmes but fortunately, so far it is far enough in the background that I can ignore it.

I watched a couple of episodes in the first season.  It was okay but pretty formulaic (of course, that's the whole point of network TV) and didn't clear my "good enough" hurdle.  I hope you keep enjoying it!

That was my reaction too.  I watched one or two episodes and it wasn't grabbing me.

I thought it was dreadful.  The main actor plays the same character he played on The Residents.  He treats everyone like shit.

A few things that I DO find interesting are seeing one actor play twins and the secretive Dr and the Chinese Dr with the southern accent have their interesting moments.

How bored am I?  I watched all six of this season's Chicago med episodes in one sitting last night and I suppose I will continue to watch it because I need stuff to fill up the empty hours of my life, but it will be at the very bottom of my rankings.

The Sherlock Holmes related storylines on Watson bore me to tears, but I prefer the show's characters and medical cases to Med's.
