I actually like both shows, but I prefer Elementary just because the Sherlock in that show is badly socialized and a basket of issues-- but he's *trying.* He knows he has trouble relating to other people but on some level he likes them, and wants to have friends, he just never learned how. And Joan takes none of his BS so he can trust her, but she's also kind so he can trust her, and even when he rejects a rebuke in the first place he usually takes the criticism to heart and later tries to demonstrate he's absorbed the lesson. He's like a stray cat bringing her dead mice or something.

And even at that, when he REALLY fucks up he's held accountable, which is painful but necessary. I'm not super attached to ACD Sherlock so I don't care if he's OOC, I just find him a really interesting take on the troubled man-child, because he's trying very hard to be a man and he's now got the sense to realize he needs help (the whole series is predicated on the idea we sometimes need help) and to accept it or even ask for it.

And to offer it, however he can when he sees someone else needs it. I think overall it's a well-written series and I enjoy it.

Agreed 100%. This series has really put a lot of effort into its characterization and why people behave the way they do, and they've done an amazing job on reinterpreting the Holmes/Watson relationship in a contemporary setting.
