Watch Elementary. The episode "Dead Man's Switch" is my favorite adaptation of good ol' Charlie, ever. (I might be biased because I've decided Elementary is the best thing that's ever happened to CBS after Cold Case, so...)

Regardless, the extremely controversial topics were handled sensitively, and you should go watch it. Seriously, right now.

Meh. The episode was fine but Milverton the character was eliminated during the cold open. I thought that episode was the biggest letdown of the entire series.

And not even in the satisfying, "killed by a someone he was blackmailing and she mashes her heel in his face" way he was in canon.

Honestly, I think Milverton has the potential to be as interesting a villain as Moriarty (maybe moreso), and I'm surprised Elementary pretty much just name-dropped him and moved on, instead of making him the main villain of that episode.

[elephantinegrace]

Given that there had been a few suicides in real life that the episode seems to have pulled inspiration from, I think they wanted to avoid showing the survivor in a bad light and risk looking like they were victim-blaming.

(No, I wanted to start a new paragraph, not submit a comment!!)

If you're wondering what I was talking about, google Steubenville. Have a punching pillow handy; you're going to need it. But yeah, with all that still fresh when the Milverton story was being written, I'm pretty satisfied with how he was. He was evil, clever, and let's be honest; Elementary is about Sherlock Holmes the character, not Sherlock Holmes the books. I'm just glad they had Milverton without having him turn out to be working for Moriarty at all.

I know about Steubenville... Yeah, I see what you mean.
