Re: Sherlock Is Garbage And Here's Why

[(Anonymous)]

Several of the points he makes there are pretty much "this is bad because I didn't like it" or "this is bad because it's too on the nose for my taste", though.

I feel like that guy (and a lot of viewers) missed the point of the series. Sherlock does not try to use logical deductions. There are contrived plot devices everywhere but they are intentionally contrived plot devices. Sherlock was never a smart show, it was a show that tried to look smart and after the first seasons embraced its campiness silliness and absurdity. Brainless entertainment.

So yeah, trying to analyze it as something that is not is pretty ridiculous. It's like going to a magic sow and try to be the smartass by pointing out that it's just a trick. No shit Sherlock.

Huh, I never got the feeling it was embracing campy silliness. To me it always seemed so smug and totally unaware of its own nonsensicalness, at least in regards to Sherlock's reasoning abilities.

Sherlock solves problems via magic. They tell us he solved the mystery but don't actually describe the clues most of the time. It's a "trust us, he solved it. turn your brain off and don't think about it" situation. The majority of the time he doesn't really solve the mystery with any clues that lead to any logical conclusion. He just takes random guesses and they arrest the criminal at the end.

Yup, it's a bad show, got it. They weren't intentionally going for that.

No, sorry, that sounds like bullshit you have to tell yourself afterward to justify spending so much time invested in the show. It sounds like M. Night Shyamalan trying to justify the badness of The Happening by saying that it was never a horror film, it was always meant to be a silly B movie, except oops apparently he never bothered to communicate that intention to the people actually acting in the film so even they were pissed about the end product. That's the level of sad ass-covering we're operating with here.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't need any excuses because I'm perfectly okay with watching dumb shows or even children cartoons as long as they entertain me, and Sherlock never bored me. I watch a lot of stuff that has the "good taste seal of approval" so I don't think there's anything wrong with watching some "fast food" media too. Astonishing, I know. But you can continue projecting if that makes you happy.

It's extra sad because you think the creators of this show, of all shows, are in on the joke with you. They have not and will never start saying that they were intentionally making a campy, fun show that's not meant to be taken seriously. That's just the product they ended up making anyway, minus the fun.

Dude, no one's saying you can't like it.

But it wasn't intentional and it's not good. It's not about taste, it's not a well put together show.

if you're acknowledging it is dumb, why are you arguing against others saying that it's dumb?

No shit Sherlock.

Pun intended :D?
